Debian 12 openvpn

Is there a known working tutorial for installation and configuration on Debian 12?
I have found and tried a number of links

Code: Select all

https://wiki.debian.org/OpenVPN
https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-and-configure-openvpn-server-on-debian-12/
https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Debian_12&p=openvpn&f=1
But they all seem to have slight variations, and so far none of them seem to completely work, (for me).
I have posted a similar message message on debian forums with little traction so far.
The seemingly best option I found, the last one, still failed right at the end with

works fine, just managed to confuse the settings in add bridge and remove bridge.
Have separate issue with client and Whats My IP, will raise a separate ticket
