Mine isn't even a VPN but my ISP changes IP's wildly (to the 2nd octet) quite frequently. I'm not sure if this is related. I set up a script to call astres.sh from a DTMF command Which "sometimes" helps. I also added into the "nodes" stanza the dns name of the node I want to stay connected to, that could be worth a try.

I have seen this on a pair of nailed up "ulisted" nodes when the VPN channel between the two locations fails, and it does frequently, maybe once per day. DD-WRT boxes both ends for the vpn, cron to kill -HUP the pppd process and it restarts and all is fine for a while. Unfortunately asterisk does not seem to recover and it has to restart as well. But as long as I keep the VPN up asterisk is happy. So it seems that this notice is shown when a network issue is detected on an ongoing connection, or persistant, or whatever it is called.

Why is this happening? See below..... The internet is working just fine from the site. I logged into the node and the router remotely at the moment. The node repeater is in the DMZ. I can ping google.com so the DNS is working. This node not being able to re-connect or connect is really not cool! What is going on here? Thanks!
