Hi

These messages are appearing in my /var/log/openvpn.log and openvpn is not writing anymore entries.

I noticed that my /var/log/openvpn.log was a whopping 20gbs after some neglect. I downloaded a copy of the logs and then proceeded to clear it using cat /dev/null on the file. Did some server updates and performed a server restart and now the log file is not updating. Any ideas?
There is no issue with the service everyone can connect without an issue. I would just like the logs to be written too again. I haven't touched the any of the config files.
I have tried restarting the openvpn service using these commands:
sudo systemctl stop openvpn@server
sudo systemctl enable
openvpn@server.service
sudo systemctl start openvpn@server
