Yes we already checked this. No chroot or permission issues.

Unfortunately the log was not complete but it only adds extra
confusion, here you go:

So what's happening here is (wildly guessing):

* somebody is doing a TCP portscan (I guess)
* the tcp based openvpn (conveniently named "tcp" here) is initializing the SSL 
context
* once it's started, it's already over (?)
* CRL cannot be loaded, but maybe it can (timing?)
* openvpn complains about a bad packet (due to that just being a port scan)


A "real", working connection looks like this:
