Hi,
due to some internet connection problem (provider) I couldn't update arch for nearly 3 month. On October 7th after reading the news I then did a full system upgrade. Everything works fine since then, except openvpn.
Before the update, the openvpn connection was running and working right after boot. Now the status says, that openvpn is active and running, but I don't get access to the internet. After a restart of the connection, everything works fine.
Right after boot the status looks like this (everything seems to be fine):
$ systemctl status openvpn@stw-bonn
openvpn@stw-bonn.service - OpenVPN connection to stw-bonn
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/openvpn@.service; enabled)

CGroup: /system.slice/system-openvpn.slice/openvpn@stw-bonn.service

The service file looks like this:

Hopefully here is someone who knows.

RESOLVED - Solution
Since I had a lot of trouble with dhcpcd this last week or two and today time enough to investigate, I finally found a solution (by switching from dhcpcd to systemd-networkd).
1. Stop and disable dhcpcd, stop openvpn
2. Set up a basic dhcp network config file for networkd: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … CP_network
3. cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/openvpn@.service /etc/systemd/system/openvpn@.service
4. Add in /etc/systemd/system/openvpn@.service:
[Unit] ...
After=systemd-networkd.service
[Service] ...
Restart=always
RestartSec=155. Enable systemd-networkd, systemd-resolve and openvpn (start now, if you don't want to reboot)
No trouble with failed dhcpcd every few minutes or so and openvpn automatically connects when the system boots again. :-)
