Actually, it turns out that openvpn@.service DOES demonize, but for some reason it makes no difference to the behavior. Regardless of whether --daemon is present or not, the service operated correctly in my tests.
I'll leave the status of this bug "invalid" even though technically --daemon is incorrect, because the actual behavior of openvpn is correct regardless of the setting. -- 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
