Upgrade to 21.02 - OpenVPN no longer works
-
The hits keep on coming.
We are now seeing that our OpenVPN instance for remote workers is no longer working. It appears to be running, however users can't connect (client does multiple attempts and then times out). The service shows as running, but the dashboard widget reports otherwise:
Service status
Dashboard widget view
Again, any thoughts or questions are desperately welcomed.

I ended up downgrading back to 2.4.5-p1 and everything is fine again. Maybe there's something specific to our configuration, but even with Netgate hardware, it doesn't look to me that 21.x is ready for prime time just yet. Maybe it's just us.
In case it helps anyone, there were at least three show-stopper issues that we found before we gave up:
1 ) Severe routing latency between vlans
2) DNS Resolver (unbound) crashing if "Register DHCP leases in the DNS Resolver" is enabled.
3) OpenVPN completely unusable (users can't connect, widget says there is a problem, services say everything is fine).
