Hi,

Based on the error logs which is "Transport Error: socket_protect error (UDP)"
This means that Agent (system OpenVPN service) most likely is not running. You should check it in the Services, and the service name is agent_ovpnconnect. If it is not running, start it manually.

Regards,

Hello @openvon_inc
I have the same error on macOS Monterey 12.7.5 and can't fix it
