When I try to connect through OpenVPN, after providing a username and password, the connection is not completed, always staying stopped with the message:
MANAGEMENT:> STATE: 1602157800, WAIT ,
The connection type is Host-to-Net Virtual Private Network (RoadWarrior).

Good morning,
there is no connection attempt on the OpenVPN server. The client log can point to a closed firewall. Do you have a preceding router before IPFire? If so, you would need a port forward rule. Another point can be that your ‘Local VPN Hostname/IP’ is not reachable from the outside if you use a kind of DDNS it might be an idea to check if it works correctly.
