Using OpenVPN and not starting

[psherman]

The big one is here -- your credentials cannot be entered, so it fails.

Fri Jan  7 06:35:55 2022 daemon.err openvpn(IvanVancouver)[22771]: neither stdin nor stderr are a tty device and you have neither a controlling tty nor systemd - can't ask for 'Enter Auth Username:'.  If you used --daemon, you need to use --askpass to make passphrase-protected keys work, and you can not use --auth-nocache.

You need to make sure you have the appropriate directive in your openvpn config file to enable the user-auth. See this article...

OpenVPN extras

And then this thread

Create password for OpenVpn

Create a separate file that has the user name as the first line and the password as the second line. That should be the only contents of the file. Then put the full path to that file after auth-user-pass in the main config.

You have another few issues, but I don't think they are fatal (cipher and tls server/client/secret settings)
