OpenVPN service did not resolve (or just didn't show in VPN Server Manager) Client Host Names.
The same devices connected via L2TP/IPSec resolves fine.

Re: OpenVPN clients without Host Names
It a very serious problem to identify clients with that bug, because MAC-addresses of OpenVPN-clients could change!

Re: OpenVPN clients without Host Names
MAC address generator doesn't refer to the hostname.
OpenVPN doesn't notify hostname on the protocol.

Re: OpenVPN clients without Host Names
But when the same clients connected to OpenVPN-Server their host names are resolved on that server!!!

Re: OpenVPN clients without Host Names
In L2 mode there is no connection at all. I guess my router does not support this type of connections.
L3 mode works fine.
But when I connect with the same router in L3 mode to original OpenVPN server, I can see its host name on it!

Re: OpenVPN clients without Host Names
The router doesn't involve inside of the VPN tunnel.
What do you try?
What is the client?
In OpenVPN L2 mode, the client can present MAC address.
So, the L2 mode resolves your problem.
