Subject: openvpn: Openvpn server can't start after upgrade to kernel 3.2.63-2+deb7u1 (tun: Unknown symbol ipv6_proxy_select_ident)
Package: openvpn
Version: 2.2.1-8+deb7u2
Severity: important
My openvpn server stopped working after a recent kernel opgrade from
linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64_3.2.63-2_amd64.deb to
linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64_3.2.63-2+deb7u1_amd64.deb . Downgrading
makes it work again.
Doing an /etc/init.d/openvpn start resulted in the following error on the command line:
===========================
t@do ~> sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn start
[sudo] password for thue:
[FAIL] Starting virtual private network daemon: server failed!
---------------------------
The following error was printed on the primary console (did not occur prior to the kernel upgrade):
=================================
tun: Unknown symbol ipv6_proxy_select_ident (err 0)

Downgrading the kernel to
linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64_3.2.63-2_amd64.deb made it work again,
removes all error output, including the ipv6_proxy_select_ident
error.
