Description

Maintainer: @equinox0815
Environment: ramips/mt7620 OpenWrt 21.02.0 r16279-5cc0535800

Description: The uanytun init script attempts to start before even localhost networking is up, and fails to bind its local UDP socket.

Can probably be fixed by a ubus wait_for, but ideal would be integration with OpenWrt's normal networking stuff. ;)

Research direction

Start with the uanytun init script and OpenWrt's normal networking and ubus boot-order mechanisms. Reproduce the boot failure on the stated ramips/mt7620 environment, then verify that uanytun starts only after localhost networking is available and successfully binds its local UDP socket.
