When disabling both tcp and upd for OpenVPN the app is stuck in a restart loop

[fbartels]

I wanted to give the new VPN app a try to see how easy it is to get Wireguard going with it. Since i am not planning on using OpenVPN i just disabled both the tcp and udp options for "vpn" (maybe this could be renamed to OpenVPN to make it clearer). In the settings this was not an issue, but when then starting the app it is stuck in "Starting.." and the following is logged repeatedly

The solution is to go back into the location settings and enable at least one of the two.

Thanks for reporting. . Implemented here - https://git.cloudron.io/packages/vpn-app/-/commit/4a2e9228884620180bbe75ed29f8c0cee421ebd7 . If both are disabled, OpenVPN will be totally disabled.
