How do I access OpenVPN admin?
If you have successfully installed OpenVPN, but cannot access the admin dashboard, please review the following suggestions: Verify that you have configured the admin and client.
Pem keys correctly. If you do not have the correct key, you will not be able to access the OpenVPN admin.
If the IP address on your device is different than the VPN address, you will not be able to access the OpenVPN admin. You can find the VPN address at the top of the browser window. It is also possible that you may be blocking or have a firewall set up that prevents access to the admin.
Verify that you have the correct certificate in the OpenVPN config file. The OpenVPN admin requires the correct certificate to access.
Verify that you have successfully started the OpenVPN service. Ensure that you have not set the wrong permissions for the OpenVPN config files. Verify that you have the correct IP address on the internet facing interface of your device. The admin port is 2383 by default. Please make sure you do not have other services listening on port 2383.
How do I start and stop OpenVPN? To start OpenVPN, use the command line tool vpnc. This tool requires root/sudo privilege on your device. To stop OpenVPN, use the command line tool vpnc.

What are my OpenVPN security features? OpenVPN provides strong encryption using industry standard AES 256 bit encryption algorithms and advanced protocols such as IKEv2 to ensure a secure connection to your VPN server. We also use TLS 1.2 and SHA2-512 hashing functions to provide additional security. The encryption key is never stored on the device in cleartext, so the key is never accessible by anyone. We use our own certificate authority to generate certificates with strong security to provide the highest level of security possible.

What is the admin port for OpenVPN?
I've been looking for that and couldn't find anything about it.
EDIT: Here's my config for the server: EDIT 2: Server log with "-d 5" option and the debug level, and my client (with all the needed "client" parameters): If you use the "remote" option in your configuration file, then you have to define a remote interface, ie, the interface where the remote server will be connected to, and set it to 10.8.10 in your client configuration. For example:
Remote 10.10 10.13 tls-client dev tun0
The most popular method is to change the default "remote" parameter to something like. "remote x.z.w", x.w being a random number between 1 and 65535
And specify the server name using the "up" option, ie: "up /path/to/file/server.txt" This works well because the "remote" parameter changes automatically when a client connects.
