Fixing "TLS handshake failed" errors in OpenVPN

"TLS handshake failed" means your OpenVPN app could not finish the secure connection with the server. The usual causes:

• The configuration has expired or was replaced. Check the countdown on your configuration page. If it expired, create a new configuration and import the new profile.
• The network blocks UDP. The OpenVPN servers here use UDP. Try another network (for example mobile data instead of Wi-Fi) or use a V2Ray account, which runs over HTTPS on port 443.
• Your device clock is wrong. Certificates depend on the correct time. Turn on automatic date and time.
• An old profile. Delete the old profile in the app and import the .ovpn file again from your current configuration page.
