OpenVPN Server broken after update

[Ren]

I just updated OPNSENSE and my only OpenVPN Server instance is failing to start with the below error

This is lighttpd (web GUI server) complaining about incompatibility with the latest OpenSSL CVE fix, but it is harmless -- your GUI is still accessible I reckon?

Can you provide your OpenVPN log instead?

Here is the ouput from OpenVPN log. Service is still not starting after deleting and re-defining OpenVPN instance
N.B I replaced my public IP with MY_PUBLIC_IP_HERE

From what I can tell the OpenVPN log looks clean, the server starts up and ought to be accessible. Are you sure there's nothing in your network setup that might cause this? Check the firewall logs for dropped traffic for port 7443.
