cant stop openvpn service

[MrNissenDK]

I have had a problem with OpenVPN not starting correctly after a reboot.
I'm now home and trying to fix it but instead, I made a fail and can't access the UI anymore and therefore not able to stop the change in the config

the line that made it impossible to connect to UI

Code:

 local 127.0.0.1

I have tried to change it manually through the shell in "/etc/openvpn/server/server.conf" but it will be overwritten by the panel on startup, and I can't seem to find the file it's stored in.
I have tried to stop the service without luck.

and have searched for a solution but haven't been able to find a thread or any other place that could help me.

now I try to write a thread to hopefully get the magical command or location of the config so I can get access to my panel again.

If you have shell access, run midclt call service.stop "openvpn_server" to stop the OpenVPN server service.

The TrueNAS Python middleware generates /etc/openvpn/server/server.conf every boot using values in the SQL configuration database at /data/freenas-v1.db. As you've discovered, editing files does nothing, as edits don't affect the configuration database.

To get an idea of what fields are stored for OpenVPN server, run midclt call openvpn.server.config | jq. To update fields, run midclt call openvpn.server.update '{ "<field from config>": "<updated value>", "<other field from config>": "<updated value>" }'.
