Open VPN Connect doesn’t connect anymore after upgrading to IOS 15 [solved]

Hallo,

After upgrading from IOS 14.6 to IOS 15.0.1 on my iPad and iPhone, Open VPN Connect doesn’t connect anymore.

As the log show the connection times out:

No connection attempt or other log information is in the server log. I think IOS 15 is blocking the OpenVPN Connect traffic.
Has someone idea’s to solve this?

It seems your connectivity blocking the OpenVPN traffic.
I tested mine, using the latest version of the OpenVPN Connect app from my iPhone, just updated from iOS 14 to 15, and still able to connect.
