Hello,
Out of the blue I am getting this OpenVPN server error - anybody can share some inputs on it?
This server worked for a decade, and I never had issues with it.
Client and ipfire/OpneVPN server are in same network: direct connection.
Errors you see below are from any client: WIndows10 or Android → problem seems to be at server side: errno=13, permission denied on /tmp
Core-Update 193

Late edit: chown nobody:nobody /tmp/ does temporary solve the problem …the connection is successfull…
