I’ve configured the OpenVPN server on my Routerboard RB450G as per the instructions here:

I then installed and configured the client as per the instructions here:

I’ve ensured port 1194 is open in the RouterOS firewall, and I’ve outright disabled the Windows Firewall on the client computer.
If I try to connect to port 1194 on the IP address of the VPN server using netcat it looks like I’m getting a handshake request, I get the following gibberish:
@���/�
However when I try to connect using the OpenVPN client it just sits there with a blank log screen. Doesn’t prompt for password, doesn’t give me any errors at all. Just says it’s unable to connect.
What am I doing wrong?
