      After setting up OpenVPN for the first time, it seems as if the service isn't running:

      ca1292b6-2aa7-4c87-b955-c6d8bc529ef2-image.png

      When trying to connect, I get the following logs as well:

      Tue Feb 16 14:04:02 2021 OpenVPN 2.4.9 x86_64-w64-mingw32 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [PKCS11] [AEAD] built on Apr 16 2020

      Any direction would be much appreciated.

        Obviously the server is not reachable from the client.
        So check the path between. Do you control both, client and server? Is there a firewall in front of the server?
        Some more details will be needed.

          @viragomann Yes I control both. All firewall rules are set up by the wizard. I don't have a single idea what could be wrong at this point

            It is off and won't turn on. No matter if I create a new server...

              As long as this

              ed41177d-9e73-42f7-b072-cd834e561321-image.png

              isn't running, its normal the OpenVPN client won't be able to connect.

              So, first things first :
              Start the OpenVPN Server "New_VPN" and look at the log :

              05ba0ecd-f85f-4f39-bc4b-2d25d67a3324-image.png

              if it stops executing, it should log the reason.

              @profit said in Service not running or connecting...:

              No matter if I create a new server...

              Somewhat normal, if you use the same 'wrong' settings.
              What settings ?

              These settings : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQHqPq7ftz4 are known to work.
