[Khadanja]

What is this IP 45.33.86.231, belongs to linode but why appearing in my logs & why this warning?

It's a normal port scanning/hacking attempt. Are you running your VPN server on a standard port? If so you should expect these.

Yeah running 2nd server on 443, followed this guide which advised to have 2nd server on 443 as some remote locations block 1194/UDP

I see these all the time. I guess it is the price to pay for having this configuration. I also use 443/TCP for circumventing restrictions.

If there is anything else I can do, I'm all ears...
