What's the problem 🤔

I'm trying to set up the container with the vpnsecure provider. I've created the client.crt and openvpn_encrypted_key file and filled them like explained here:

https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/advanced/openvpn-client-certificate.md
https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/advanced/openvpn-client-encrypted-key.md

The files are set up correctly. The credentials do work when I use the app and also on the website of vpnsecure.

1. Do you have any funny characters (such as $) in your password? Maybe that could be the issue 🤔 although I'd expect openvpn not being able to decrypt your openvpn key file if the passphrase was invalid...
2. Have you tried with other servers (for example pick one with SERVER_HOSTNAMES)

I tried to change the password to one without special characters, deployed the new files and also tried to connect to an other server -> nothing changed
