Hello,
Just finished the setup of OpenVPN access server (5 minutes ago).
I can’t access the Admin UI. Server is refusing the connection.
Please assist.

Hello, @omidshojaee
I’ve just setup a droplet using the one click install for the OpenVPN Access Server and everything is working normal:
https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/openvpn-access-server
Could you please make sure that you’re accessing the page with https:// included? The admin URL login is provided at the end of the installation process:
Initial Configuration Complete!
You can now continue configuring OpenVPN Access Server by
directing your Web browser to this URL:
https://IP:943/admin
Login as "openvpn" with the same password used to authenticate
to this UNIX host.
During normal operation, OpenVPN AS can be accessed via these URLs:
Admin UI: https://IP:943/admin
Client UI: https://IP:943/
The port will be 943 if you haven’t changed it during the install process.
Let me know how it goes.
Regards, Alex
