The process ends up in a loop that iterates with increasing delay. I believe it is an openvpn issue, but I've tried two different config files (both of which work normally) and my credentials are correct.

Is the issue related to port 1195 used by openvpn?

Are you sure that your .ovpn file contains the proper certificate? Or contains one atleast

[aarianmm]

I got new .ovpn files from my provider and the issue still persists. The .ovpn files work normally and definitely contain the proper certificates. (I have scribbled out the actual certificate).

[aarianmm]

The .ovpn files work normally- I tested them just now. The username and password used are the same- when used normally they work as desired. I also tried exposing port 1195 in the yml file- this didn't do anything. Could it be related to iptables?

[aarianmm]

the issue occurs the same even if I input my login credentials wrong.

[aarianmm]

@DyonR anything else you suggest?

[aarianmm]

any issues with the docker compose file? @DyonR

@DyonR I have the same issue. Well the .ovpn has by default an scramble option, see line 11 but if I remove that line I get into the same loop.
