Michael, If you have OpenVPN Server -> Client Certificates and Keys: -> Client Name with one or more "disabled" checked, you will have to Restart OpenVPN Server whenever you add a new Client.
This is not a OpenVPN requirement per se. but rather the configuration for openvpn. To explain more ... if there are no "disabled" clients then the rc.conf variable OVPN_VALIDCLIENTS is not defined, the openvpn configuration does not include a tls-verify option. On the other had, if there are "disabled" clients then the rc.conf variable OVPN_VALIDCLIENTS is defined, the configuration includes a "tls-verify /usr/sbin/openvpn-tls-verify" option. As such only client CN's in OVPN_VALIDCLIENTS are allowed. If you add a new Client you need to Restart OpenVPN Server to update the config, that goes for most any change in OpenVPN Server.
