OpenVPN – Client Connecting to Wrong IP Address

openvpn

I setup an OpenVPN server but whenever I try to connect with the Windows 10 OpenVPN client I get the following error:

There was an error attempting to connect to the selected server

Here's what I see in the logs:

⏎10/11/2021, 11:17:42 PM EVENT: WAIT ⏎10/11/2021, 11:17:42 PM Connecting to [3.133.152.18]:1194 (3.133.152.18) via UDPv4
⏎10/11/2021, 11:17:46 PM Server poll timeout, trying next remote entry...

It's timing out. I can see why it's timing out – the IP address it's trying to connect to is wrong. If I do ping vpn.neubert.com I get 3.142.17.247. Even the server admin shows 3.142.17.247:

So why is the OpenVPN client trying to connect to 3.133.152.18?

Best Answer

I had to delete the profile and recreate it to get the updated IP address in the client
