        @faddy0102 May not apply, but when I built a fresh box, I had some scripts in the Custom Options I had failed to copy over that prevented the service from starting. Ignore as needed! :)

            Yes, the log should show what's happening there. OpenVPN is not running so it's probably got some setting that prevents it starting. A subnet conflict of somekind would be my first guess.
