Is this because openvpn itself is newer than the one on RPi2?
rpi4 version: OpenVPN 2.6.3
rpi2 version: OpenVPN 2.4.7

I tried to use the old cert/key etc files on the new server...
(To make it accept connections using the old ovpn files.)

If I create a new CA then will not the complete infrastructure need to be
rebuilt including the ovpn connection files?

I was hoping that the same files could be used for either server just by
changing the connection port on the server.

But in this case it seems like the server does not even start properly so the
connection too does not proceed. And maybe it is the phone that barfs at the
cert in the openvpn file and does not proceed towards the server? So the error
is not from the server?

What would be the proper way to deal with this, in the end I figured there could
be two connection points served by the two RPi devices and using the same ovepn
files except for the connection port.

It was such a long time since I started from scratch now, I even created a
script back then to help in creating new client files but that does only work on
the old kind of files.
