core: OpenVPN Connection Status - Unable to Contact Daemon

Posted this on the forum but no acknowledgement hopefully here will help

I’ve got several OVPN connections established and working (confirmed by connections to WAN via 4G and from LAN); however, the dashboard and menu option (VPN > OpenVPN > Connection Status) are all giving “Unable to contact daemon Service not running?” even though they’re definitely working.

Reboots are not solving the issue, nor killing the processes.

I’ve attached logs from the OVPN service as well as graphical evidence.

Definitely happy 👍 No power failures as I know of as everything is attached to a UPS but it’s still definitely possible.

Thanks for all your help @fichtner I really do appreciate it
