I use the interface state for determining the VPN connection state. > Shouldn't I? Most people prefer to have the TUN/TAP interface stay up even during short network outages, so that application-level TCP connections running over the tunnel are not dropped. This is controlled by the "persist-tun" config file flag. If you don't use this flag, then the interface will be brought down on network outages which are longer than the keepalive (or ping/ping-restart) interval.
