How would you go about making OpenVPN automatically restart upon connecting to a network?
The issue is that every time a network connection is lost, or if the computer is booted without a network connection and then connects, OpenVPN does not work — at least until I manually restart openvpn.
Running Arch Linux (thus using systemd)
Use the --ping and --ping-restart (or --keepalive) options and openvpn will reconnect when it looses the connection.
