Installed package netsherver-openvpn 1.4.8.

I found issue 5246. Is it the same?

Can’t connect to the machine remotely with openvpn.

Hi Ralf,
I know openvpn from a manual install at cent os.
Isn’t there an openvpn log too? I think you can try to increase the log level of openvpn?

Hi Michael,

sorry I didn’t close this. In the meantime the vpn works. I did some updates, maybe it was related to that. Thanks anyway for your willing to help.

BTW: How to close a thread? Do you know? I’ll mark it as solved.

No, I don’t know. I haven’t found it too. But perhaps @alefattorini can help.

Generally, we don’t close support discussion, just bugs, so that people can potentially follow up. Marking as solve is the correct way.
