I tested that theory of modifying openvpn.service with network- online.target to no avail. Can confirm this issue in ubuntu/images/hvm- ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-20160610 (ami-d06a90b0) as well.
Will try modifying openvpn.@service as suggested by OP to see if that resolves. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1580356 Title: OpenVPN causes reboot failure on Xenial in AWS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/1580356/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
