The OpenVPN client on my phone is OpenVPNConnect version3.3.4. I have tried switching to TCP and also tried it on a windows machine and I still get the same result.

This is as far as it gets. EVENT: CONNECTING Mine says. [Aug 07, 2023, 15:14:44] Server poll timeout, trying next remote entry...

Pings OK and Canyouseeme reports open port and I can access the web server on the lan with my ddns OK.

These are the same settings and I am trying to connect using my mobile.

They are the same so it should be OK but it is the fact that OpenVPN makes no attempt to communicate and just times out makes me think I have missed some setting entirely but I cant figure out what.

@leeo Thanks, it didn't cross my mind about a client as I was trying to set up a server, I'll have another go now I know it works but why I get no response to the client is a bit of a problem.
