@jims said in Connection to openvpn cloud server - use connector or user ovpn file?:
but both times I used the client import and am not connecting.
So you should going to troubleshoot it.
Some information in the log?
@pljungstrom
The error message looks like if the client cannot reach the server.
Sure that you only renewed the CA cert before you got this?
Check the client settings for the correct server name or IP and port.
@mradell said in NordVPN using OpenVPN not connecting:
That's what happens when you just don't pay as close enough attention to detail as you think you did.
Happens to all of us.
@stephenw10 said in 22.05 - DCO and OpenVPN issue:
It's probably not something that can be fixed with a run-time patch unfortunately. It looks to be in OpenVPN so something in the binary.

Thanks for clarifying - thus we know to currently not roll it out enabled per default :)
Unfortunately I realized that some evidence too much has generated (automatically) some "uncontrolled" rule ... I leave somewhere and try to do the rounds more correctly.
Decided to throw caution to the wind. Backed up my configuration. Warned all VPN users we might be down for an hour.
Unchecked the "Bridge DHCP" option.
Added 172.16.200.0/24 range to the "IPv4 Tunnel Network"
Restarted OpenVPN.
And clients show up in widget and status again! This even fixed an issue where mobile clients lost access when they came onsite without auto disconnecting the VPN connection.
So it looks like the bug isn't quite fixed but this work around is actually better for my setup and I will be sticking with it. Hope this helps others on this very minor but annoying issue.
