There's no DHCP. I took a look at the logs, and there's not any trace of
ev. disconnection. tun0 had at the morning still the same IP address, as it
yesterday had.

I made:
/etc/rc.d/ipfilter restart
/etc/rc.d/ipnat restart

Unfortunately, didn't have much time at the morning to investigate, now
I suppose that perhaps "ipf -y" could do. But why even this was needed,
anyway?
