I am a massive newb when it comes to OpenVPN. I apologize that I do not understand it all yet. I can see you want logs posted and I am embarassed to say I do no know what these logs are. I can see OpenVPN is pretty complex, basically a language of its own.
Now to my issue. I am just trying to use OpenVPN to connect to FrootVPN. I am not an advanced user and was just trying to use the bare basics of this service. All I want to do is install OpenVPN, use it to log onto FrootVPN, and that is all. I downloaded it and configured it to work with the FrootVPN file. The issue I am having is that it sometimes lets me log on, sometimes doesn't. It seems to be a problem from my end from what I can tell. I get TLS Handshake error a lot of the time when it won't connect. Then other times it will just connect without any different settings, even after failing to connect a few times, the next try could go through.
this is the text from my OpenVPN session that I am currently in trying to log onto my VPN

All in all I just want the very basic feature of just logging in, I don't care to mess around with settings once it works
