I don't really know, as I don't have access to the server, but the main 
reason is that the TLS connection times out :

UDPv4 link local: [undef]
UDPv4 link remote: [AF_INET]xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1194
TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check 
your network connectivity)
TLS Error: TLS handshake failed
SIGUSR1[soft,tls-error] received, process restarting

until it eventually works...

This makes for a long connection time.
