Hello,
I just completed my setup for OpenVPN server on my Unraid box and the issue I am running into is that I am able to connect one time. When I disconnect, I am unable to reconnect. The only way to reconnect is to restart the OpenVPN server on my Unraid box. Then I am able to connect one time and once I disconnect, I am not able to reconnect anymore.
This is a fresh installation with no customization (defaults only). I tried both Windows client as well as iOS client. Same result on either platform which makes me think there is something on my server, some setting maybe?
Any point to the right direction would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Arno

Re: Once connected and disconnected - Unable to reconnect
I am new to this so I simply took all the defaults.

Openvpn does not provide defaults that is done by your Unraid box.

Re: Once connected and disconnected - Unable to reconnect
I think I just figured it out. It turned out I had put my Unraid server in the DMZ so I was able to access it remotely. As long as it is in DMZ mode it works just fine. Once I take it out, it no longer connects. Turns out I need to forward port 1194 to my server to make this happen.
Thanks for your help!
