Oh, I think I misunderstood what you were saying. Yes, it should not daemonize when it is type notify. However, the default on bionic is not to daemonize. Here is the entry from a fully updated bionic /lib/systemd/system/openvpn-server@.service:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --status %t/openvpn-server/status-%i.log --status-version 2 --suppress-timestamps --config %i.conf Please check to make sure you're updated to the latest package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1809576 Title: 18.04 seems to have a broken openvpn server configuration (template) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/1809576/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
