This is definitely not a n00b friendly distro [1], I recommend sticking with stock-Arch or stock-Debian, learn their ways of doing things, then come back with experience to start using a distro like Bedrock. Far too many variables for what could be wrong and their documentation doesn’t look that great, either. Good luck!

I’d ask here: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/bedrock-linux-118/

It’s an old school log aggragating service that used to be how most *nix distros collected logs in years past. As I understand it was generally replaced by systemd’s journald service. The only times I encounter it in the wild is on legacy systems that couldn’t or refused to adapt and chances are they’re paying a lot cuz it’ll be a painful support experience. Oh and for some it can be a useful way to sync logs up to monitoring services like Splunk but it’s effectiveness is debatable.

And when exactly did we declare openvpn a legacy protocol?
