Hello there
I've been trying to install OpenVPN for a while, but nothing's been working. Basically, I installed the OpenVPN plugin and I was going to set up the gateway interface, but it loads and nothing happens.
I made a post over on the subreddit, but i got nothing that really helped me. The only real lead I have here is an error that pops up when I download most plugins. Here's the output.

My current theory is that there's something going wrong with the way OMV handles installs/uninstalls and it resulted in a corrupted install of this plugin. I haven't done extensive testing of other plugins but it seems like there's a somewhat similar problem with the Apt Tools plugin.
Here's things I've tried:
1. A couple different web browsers
I wanted to see if there was just a problem with rendering the GUI for some reason. There was no difference.
2. Clear local upload package repository
I wasn't sure if this would fix issues with installing things, but I thought it was worth a shot. issue persisted.
3. Clean Apt
Same thing as 2.
4. Clear web control panel cache
I thought that this could've been an issue with the web gui itself. There was no change.
Anyway, that's about all I've thought to try. Like I said, my hunch is that there's a general problem with installing plugins on my install for some reason. I'm not positive, but Cannot create socket to [localhost]:2812 is the only lead I really have. It could be a red herring.
Any help is appreciated, I've been working on this for a long while. I'm sort of at a loss.
