Trouble with systemd: openvpn/dhcpcd/wpa_supplicant/transmission

I'm trying to use the 4 services mentioned in the title to run a torrent seed box.

It's running fine. But every few days, it loses the ability to connect to the internet.
I'm trying to figure out what's going on, but I'm not sure where to look.

Below are all the things I've checked so far.

I know that it lost connection about 35 hours ago, so I'm boxing these logs to that time range.

# journalctl --since "40 hours ago" --until "30 hours ago"

Rebooting seems to fix it. But that's less than ideal.

If anyone can recommend some other places to check, please do!

I would bet it is your VPN that is going down.

I should mention that I AM able to SSH into this box on my local networking.
So that rules out wpa and dhpcpd in my opinion.

Makes sense. Is there a standard way of making openvpn automatically reconnect on Arch?

Edit: Should have tried this, but restarting the openvpn service brought me back up.
