openvpn problem since today

i installed today mornig the following update:

Start-Date: 2014-11-01 10:32:23 Commandline: apt-get -y upgrade Upgrade: linux-libc-dev:i386 (3.2.63-2, 3.2.63-2+deb7u1), linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae:i386 (3.2.63-2, 3.2.63-2+deb7u1) End-Date: 2014-11-01 10:32:40

later i tried to connect to openvpn server installed on the vps. but i get the following error on the client side:

Sat Nov 01 16:18:49 2014 read UDPv4: Connection reset by peer (WSAECONNRESET) (code=10054)

i looked on my server and realized that openvpn could not start anymore:

root@xxxxxxxxxx:~# service openvpn restart [ ok ] Stopping virtual private network daemon:. [FAIL] Starting virtual private network daemon: server failed!

this is what i get in the log:

in the log i saw that dev/net/tun no such device error:

the i typed ifconfig in my putty window and there is no tun device started. only eth0 and lo. yesterday and over the last 2 months it was all running without problems. i didnt changed anything since yesterday on my config or anything else on my vps server. the only thing i did since yesterday was this:

Start-Date: 2014-11-01 10:32:23 Commandline: apt-get -y upgrade Upgrade: linux-libc-dev:i386 (3.2.63-2, 3.2.63-2+deb7u1), linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae:i386 (3.2.63-2, 3.2.63-2+deb7u1) End-Date: 2014-11-01 10:32:40

is it possible that the kernel update is doing this trouble with openvpn? i deinstalled openvpn and reinstalling it, but nothing works.
