Description
openvpn client lost connection to server on m66.officeburg.ru due to remote-random-hostname option, because where is dns irregularity and client host cant resole random prefixed hostname,
actually on the server:
$ dig +short jl3wef.m66.officeburg.ru
5.172.23.43
62.33.152.80
$ dig +short m66.officeburg.ru
5.172.23.43
62.33.152.80
$
while on the client:
$ dig +short jl3wef.m66.officeburg.ru
$ dig +short m66.officeburg.ru
62.33.152.80
5.172.23.43
$
should openvpn client sometime resolve plain clear hostname m66.officeburg.ru, e.g. without random prefix?

if you need the plain hostname too, add a <connection> section wihtout remote-random.
The other but you are seeing is already fixed a long time ago (see #143)
shall setup this config to see long term behaviour ...
