    Good day...

    A couple of things come to mind here, first you need to have the OpenVPN (If using 1194) port  forwarded to the Raspberry Pi. On your controller > Settings > Routing & Firewall > Port Forwarding.

     

    Odds are all your devices have changed IP addresses after your upgrade from the Linksys router to the UDM Pro. So anything that may have had a static IP may not match or work on the new configuration.

     

    The other consideration may be that you have a change in your network addressing. Make sure that your OpenVPN config files match your current IP structure.

     

    The other thing may be to look at installing Wireguard, seems to work better than OpenVPN in my humble opinion. Have it working on my system with out a hitch with similar equipment.
