Anything else?

Issue started after the Dev build on 23rd Jan, reverting to Master works fine.

Dev uses newer openvpn version and I suggest you look into updating your ovpn config as the error indicates. I can’t see the ovpn profile, please share it, most likely it’s using deprecated methods

Thanks they are pulled from here https://configs.ipvanish.com/configs/

There was an issue awhile back when the container had issues so you had to put the config files manually into a folder and I just never switched back to using the default as it worked.

Edit: tried setting to ipvanish and not preselecting a server etc but issue remained

[jes1417]

I am also seeing the same issue, I am using the default configs from the container.

This is connected with the specific provider config, please try a different server or with custom and download the confit you want to test
