systemd and openvpn

[Göran Hasse]

Hello,

Last week I had a major incident in our company.

The root of this was that openvpn was controled by systemd and
the configuration was set so that if the server died (a client configuration)
was not restarted. 

All 20 client I had got some problem with my main server and
made an exit. We had to send out service personel to all your sites.

A server of this importans, in my opinion, must by default be configured so
it will restart if a major problem occurs.

AND I would regard me self as an experienced system administrator and this is WAY
to complicated for the average administrator to track down and fix.

PLEASE se to that the default configuration of openvpn is so that it will
restart after an exit.

Cordially yours
