OpenVPN app connects, but not Settings app

Hi,
I'm having a problem with OpenVPN for iOS.
App version 3.2.3.(3760)
iOS version 14.7.1
I have a profile that works fine to connect to the server - if I'm using the OpenVPN app. If I try and connect from the iOS Settings app it seemingly connects, but then disconnects after a while. What's really happening when checking the logs is that it's attempting to connect three times and then stops.
Among the messages in the client log is this:
On the server side (an Asus router), I get a corresponding error:
Here's what it looks like in the client log when connecting directly from the OpenVPN app:
So it seems that iOS itself (or the Settings app) is not using the stored credentials. How can I solve this problem? This used to work, but it's been a while since I tried it tbh.
I've of course tried to remove the profile and recreate it. I get the prompt to allow to add the profile and all looks normal. And like I wrote, it does work fine when using the OpenVPN app to connect.
I also tried it on another device, an older Ipad Air running iOS 12.something. Same problem there, works fine via the OpenVPN app, but not when trying to connect from the Settings app.
