      Mostly this error means that the client cannot reach the server.
      The server IP is correct in the client settings?

      Check the firewall log on the server if it has blocked the packets.
      Or run a packet capture on WAN to see if the packets arrive at all.

        Yes, the ip is correct, follow the client's log.

        Would it be a problem with the certificates now?

          Yes, as the server log shows, there is something wrong with the certificate verification.

          Is the client certificate issued by the CA, which you stated in the server settings?

            Perfectly, I redid the user CA and it worked.

            Many thanks for the instructions.

            Excuse my ignorance, but how and where do I consider this topic resolved?

              Just edit the topic in the first post and put "[SOLVED]" in front of it.

                  Obviously there is a lock now for editing old posts.
                  Do you have access to the topic in the most recent?

                    From the last post yes, but I can't edit the title of the post.
