Server OS

Ubuntu 22 LTS

OpenVPN version

2.5.0

Client

Ubuntu 22 LTS

What is the bug?

Hello,

I have used this script flawlessly with Ubuntu 20 LTS images deployed in AWS / Linode / DigitalOcean. It still works flawlessly but with Ubuntu 22 LTS images deployed at those locations, this script is not starting the OpenVPN after reboot.

Server is not showing OpenVPN NIC or the server IP address

Further, status of OpenVPN is showing "active (exited)"

How do I fix this?

Please help troubleshooting it.

Thanks.

Same here.

Consider setting groups/curves preference with tls-groups instead of forcing a specific curve with ecdh-curve.
Note: Treating option '--ncp-ciphers' as  '--data-ciphers' (renamed in OpenVPN 2.5).
