BTW, James, my Windows clients are still experiencing the inability

renewed (eg. PPPoE went down, etc.) -- I still have to either 1)
redefine each client's lport, or 2) reboot the client.

Is the client OpenVPN process restarting when the IP address changes?

It appears that an attempt is made -- TLS handshake errors are reported.

If you manually stop the OpenVPN process then restart it after an IP
change, does it fix the problem?

No. The client(s) cannot reconnect even after OpenVPN has been completely terminated and restarted.


Have you tried "nobind" on the client?

No, but I will add it to their configs and keep you up to date.
