My OVPN server is on a Mikrotik router, and I have logging turned on so I can see any problems. The client is on a Windows 10 laptop, fully updated Firewall is turned off. I am using OVPN 2.4.9 (I had issues with versions 2.5 and I found where it was a problem with the version). I have had several issues and managed to slog my way thru all but the last one. It looks like it is going to work just fine, I do not see any errors in the log anymore, but the server end never logs any connection attempts. Can someone take a look at this log and tell me what I am missing?
