Title: OPENVPN - New Server not working
Post by: PotatoCarl on September 27, 2025, 01:58:17 PM
Hi
I have been using OPENVPN for years. Now the "old" plugin is legacy, so I converted all settings to the "new" instances. However, when I turn off the client/servers from the old settings and start the "instances", I cannot connect anymore.

As this is business critical for me, I wonder what I am doing wrong. Is there a comprehensive how-to for the conversion of the old settings to the new? I had to guess a few fields as they are named differently, but I believe I got it okay. No error message except "time out" to be found.

Never seen just a "time out" message.

Maybe you can give more details on what you have configured.
The configuration interface for the new connections miss some already deprecated OpenVPN settings. You possibly have to update the other site as well.
