OpenVPN Client configuration - Not possible to set remote server port

[holius]

I'm currently trying to configure TrueNAS Scale server to act as a OpenVPN Client for the OpenVPN Cloud Service. When using the cloud service I'm not free in choosing any server port I like, so I have to connect to 1194 on the cloud service. When Trying to set that port In the OpenVPN Client configuration in TrueNAS I get an error "The Port is being used by 'Openvpn Server Service' even though the server is not started. See following Screenshot:

What am I missing?

I had a similar problem while trying to configure the server:
I was able to use the expected 1194 port by configuring the Openvpn client with a different port even though I had no intention of using it. This freed up my server and got passed trueNas's checks to use that port even though I had no intention starting the service.

In your situation maybe you can try to configure the server port to something different even though you have no intention of starting it.
