This issue is related to #139 which was unfortunately closed without anyone attempting to solve it.
I’m seeing this problem on an M1 Mac.

The OpenVPN community would really appreciate if someone could take care of fixing the above problem.
For now, @antonb-taod suggested a good temporary fix that worked for me:
I don’t know what issue other have, but I was able to solve mine today.
I was getting an error calling protected() method and same logs as mentiones above. I figured out that the file /var/run/agent_ovpnconnect.sock didn’t exist and apparently the problem was that for any reason the ovpn agent wasn’t running. To solve this I had to start /Library/Frameworks/OpenVPNConnect.framework/Versions/Current/usr/sbin/ovpnagent manually (I’m using macOS M1 12.2.1).
Hope it will help someone.

OpenVPN W10 socket protect error
OpenVPN W10 socket protect error
Post by Jippy » Wed Oct 28, 2020 3:02 am
I have a strange one where I can’t get one computer out of 6 or 7 machines so far to connect to my VPN hosted through my Synology NAS. All the machines run Windows 10 Home and are either a desktop machine I custom assembled, or a variant of a Lenovo Yoga or Thinkpad laptop. I was also able to connect my Android phone without issue, there is just this one machine (one of the Lenovo’s) that just won’t connect.
I have tried allowing an exception to the firewall, disabling the firewall altogether, disabling the anti-virus, checking all the settings against the other machines, flushing the DNS, disabling IPv6 and short of throwing the computer in the bin and buying a new one, tried just about all else.
The log is showing a «socket_protect error (UDP)» and it just attempts to reconnect, brings this error, disconnects, attempts again, rinse and repeat. It has declining so quickly that it feels like it is a firewall issue, however as I mentioned, I disabled that and it did not change anything. The log on the server end is not even showing an attempt by this username to log in which helps cement the suspiction it is being blocked at the local machine end.
It is frustrating that it is just this one machine so far in isolation doing this.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this?
My configuration (although I doubt this is the issue as it is working on all the other machines):
dev tun
tls-client
Remote was here and removed
# The «float» tells OpenVPN to accept authenticated packets from any address,
# not only the address which was specified in the —remote option.
# This is useful when you are connecting to a peer which holds a dynamic address
# such as a dial-in user or DHCP client.
# (Please refer to the manual of OpenVPN for more information.)
# If redirect-gateway is enabled, the client will redirect it’s
# default network gateway through the VPN.
# It means the VPN connection will firstly connect to the VPN Server
# and then to the internet.
# (Please refer to the manual of OpenVPN for more information.)
# dhcp-option DNS: To set primary domain name server address.
# Repeat this option to set secondary DNS server addresses.
#dhcp-option DNS DNS_IP_ADDRESS
# If you want to connect by Server’s IPv6 address, you should use
# «proto udp6» in UDP mode or «proto tcp6-client» in TCP mode

Lmao, did u even tried to investigate it ?
antonb-taod commented Aug 15, 2022 •
I don’t know what issue other have, but I was able to solve mine today.
I was getting an error calling protected() method and same logs as mentiones above. I figured out that the file /var/run/agent_ovpnconnect.sock didn’t exist and apparently the problem was that for any reason the ovpn agent wasn’t running. To solve this I had to start /Library/Frameworks/OpenVPNConnect.framework/Versions/Current/usr/sbin/ovpnagent manually (I’m using macOS M1 12.2.1).
Hope it will help someone.

@effolkronium the original error is just failing to connect to a UDP server. Any kind of condition can lead to that like no network connection. So without any further information and just hte error message, there is nothing we can do and that is why I closed the ticket.
effolkronium commented Aug 15, 2022
@schwabe then it would be better to extend logging for this error, so guys will have a chance to send meaningful reports. Just an idea

Thank you @antonb-taod
I’ve been having this issue for a few days now and it’s because I’m using hardware tokens.
I’ve fixed with sudo /Library/Frameworks/OpenVPNConnect.framework/Versions/Current/usr/sbin/ovpnagent .

Based on the error logs which is «Transport Error: socket_protect error (UDP)»
This means that Agent (system OpenVPN service) most likely is not running. You should check it in the Services, and the service name is agent_ovpnconnect. If it is not running, start it manually.

Может в этом дело? Клиент на винде не может достучаться до сервера и на сервере поэтому нет логов от подключений виндовой машины? Тогда это не проблема OpenVPN, а проблема винды. Это вам на другой форум. > 5. лог полный клиента, не обрезанный с бесполезной инфой: Возьмите другую реализацию VPN. В которой будут только полезные с _вашей_ _точки_ _зрения_ логи. И третий раз для закрепления: повышайте уровень логирования. Потом изучайте логи. | ||
