OpenVPN server - GUI says "Unable to contact daemon" but connection is working
« on: February 14, 2018, 01:22:48 pm »
Since the Upgrade to 18.1 I've got a strange issue with my openvpn server configuration. The GUI has issues to connect to the daemon, see screenshot and logfile

The connection itself from my client to the server works fine, no errors etc. I'm not sure how to fix that. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

As it does not affect operation it's low on priority, yes. All coding help to move this along quicker is welcome.
