After upgrading my IPFire system from Core Update 188 to Core Update 198 , my Windows clients are no longer able to connect to the OpenVPN server.
The clients were working fine before the upgrade, but now the connection fails with the following message:
IPFire Core: 198 (upgraded from 188)
OpenVPN protocol: TCP
I noticed that this problem seems very similar to the issue discussed here:
Core 197 – OpenVPN and firewall

Have you tried following the steps in the post below?
Have you tried testing connections using the OpenVPN GUI community client?

What do OpenVPN logs show?
WUI–>Logs–>System Logs –> Select Section: OpenVPN then Update

You may need to download the PKCS12 file.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I eventually brought up IPFire version 197 and imported my previous backup configuration. After that, I removed the auth-user-pass line from the client configurations, and that resolved the issue.
