What'd be the motivation for this PR? Why would OpenVPN die spontaneously? It seems it's more idiomatic for the user to just retry docker run instead unless this is very frequent

It was dying for me on a saturated residential internet connection (and low-end hardware) every 24h roughly. I needed it to run unattended.

This, however, doesn't work forever. It still ends up with issues roughly every week. A heartbeat check to auto-restart may also be ideal. However, this is a good start that improves reliability.
