Hi,

I have a connection to a VPN server that assigns to my router a static IP. If the connection goes down, pptpd redial (reconnects) immediately but the server is not fast enough to release the previous connection and assigns a random IP from a DHCP pool. To avoid that I have to delay the reconnect and that can be made by modifying permanently the value of holdoff parameter (by default 10 seconds) in /tmp/ppp/vpnc_options.pptp on my Asus RT-AC68U running Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5. I tried to create a /jffs/configs/pptpd.conf.add, it did not work.

How can I do that?
