oops!!! I think i may have murdered my edision os mini!!! 
I shouldn't laugh but based on everything I've thrown at it lately it's not surprising it died a death. I'm just gonna download the current openpli and try flashing it again. I'll get back to you as soon as i have it up and running. Apologies WnaWizard!
Bare with me!!!

Quite an achievement, murdering a box... 
For next time, first port of call is /var/log/messages. Chances are there is a config error that prevents openvpn from starting, for example something that has been deprecated in a newer version.

Is openvpn running?
\etc\init.d\openvpn status
is a tap or tun interface created?
ifconfig
Anything in /var/log/messages?
If it isn't running, do you get an error message when you start it?
/etc/init.d/openvpn start

tun device is missing:

I assume you installed openvpn from the feed, and not from some external source? Because we've addressed this in our startup scripts?

Sorry WanWizard but you've lost me...i basically just ran opkg install openvpn. How do i go about installing from the feed? I never had this problem in the past. Please keep in mind I'm fairly new to this. Please advise me on what i need to do next?
Posted Today, 20:19
If you installed it from the feed (like you say you did), the startup script should create the device.
You can try to do it manually:
modprobe tun
if it gives an error, try
opkg install kernel-module-tun
followed again by the modprobe command.
if that doesn't give you errors, continue with
ls -l /dev/net/tun
if you get back that this does not exist, execute
mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200 chmod 600 /dev/net/tun
then restart the box, and use
ifconfig
to check if you now have a tun interface

You said it worked before, so the kernel of the box should support the tun kernel module.

root@osmini:~# mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
mknod: /dev/net/tun: File exists
root@osmini:~# chmod 600 /dev/net/tu
chmod: /dev/net/tu: No such file or directory
i'm in WAY over my head on this one!

the openvpn command gives me a LOT of info, the main one is
OpenVPN 2.6.2 mipsel-oe-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD]
not really sure if that's relavent but i thought I'd throw it in.
Posted Today, 20:32
root@osmini:~# chmod 600 /dev/net/tu
chmod: /dev/net/tu: No such file or directory
this error is clear the device is called tun and not tu, so use that instead;
root@osmini:~# chmod 600 /dev/net/tun

ok openvpn --status gives me this error message:
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in [CMD-LINE]:1: status (2.6.2)
I'm confused to say the least.....
Posted Today, 20:34
Huh?
How is it that "mknod" says it already exists, but "chmod" says it doesn't? Was there a reboot in between?
What does "lsmod" say, is "tun" in the list?
