    After Merlin 386.4 update, Unifi site-to-site openvpn client fails to connect to RT-AX88U openvpn server

    Hi, I have a RT-AX88U. After updating to Merlin 386.4, its openvpn server no longer connects to an Unifi site-to-site openvpn client. Re-creating the openvpn server on AX88U does not help either. (Downgrading to the previous 386.3_2 solves the problem, however.) The error messages is ...
