Bug Description
The problem actually has to do with the way `systemd` is configured in the latest version of Ubuntu 16.04. Setting up a typical OpenVPN configuration, and rebooting causes a Instance Status check failure in AWS EC2. The reason is because the file `/lib/systemd/
After=network.
The entire [Unit] section then looks like:
[Unit]
Description=OpenVPN connection to %i
PartOf=
ReloadPropagate
Before=
After=network.

This ensures that routes needed for OpenVPN configurations get called after the main networking stack.

Scott, could you please provide some information about the routing/IP configuration before the reboot?
