      Good morning, I really hope someone might be able to help me. My VPN connection was working without any problems until a couple of weeks ago (for about a year or so), but then stopped. I thought there was a certificate problem, so generated a new cert for my VPN useraccount, and re-exported the config, but that didn't rectify the problem.

      I've since blown the OpenVPN configuration away, and set up a few times with the OpenVPN wizard, but getting the same results.
      I run my VPN over port 21 TCP. (The reason for this is that although I am the IT admin at my work, our internet connection is through the local authority so they won't open any ports. The same problem is occurring if I connect tethered to my mobile phone, so I don't think it the LA Firewall.) If I connect and don't do anything it might stay connected, but as soon as I try to use anything on the VPN, the connection is reset.

      My client log is below.

      Any help would really be appreciated.
