    Your not using TLS.. so how would it encrypt.. You just have user auth set, not remote (ssl/tls)

      @johnpoz You are right. Let me check again. I did that as well and also did not work, but I changed several other settings at the same time (stupid) and I had set it back to just the auth setting and now I forgot to enable SSL/TLS again.

        @johnpoz Now I remember: In that case I could not create a new cert. Instead I got the message "If a client is missing from the list it is likely due to a CA mismatch between the OpnVPN server instance and the client certificate"

        JohnPoz, I appreciate your help quite a lot, but here (Amsterdam) it is 1.30 am and I have to get up early tomorrow morning.

        Tomorrow I will focus on that. Hope I can solve it then.

          The wizard walks you through creating a CA and server cert.

          Then just create a user cert from that CA.

            @johnpoz I have been focusing on the wrong subject all the time. At a certain point you get too tired trying to solve a problem that you lose oversight. I had several certs for testing and probably used the wrong one. I will change that tomorrow and I am convinced that that probably is the problem.

            Thanks a lot with your help and I will let you know if this indeed was the problem.

            Have a nice day.

                    En de winnaar was.....

                    I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.

                      @pippin After I had changed the Local Port Number in a new Wizard run, the new port number was added to the WAN firewall rules.
                      When I was cleaning that up, by accident I removed the wrong port number.
                      And then you can do whatever you want, but you will never get it working 😢
