That's very good advice although I'm not sure if I'd have remembered to
check OpenVPN - I don't use it often.

True. But it probably doesn't hurt and part of the reason for writing
my post is to let others know about what caused this, especially after I
spent some time trying to change every possible OpenVPN setting.
(That was also the reason to not spend a few minutes searching the
Internet for the answer to this question.)
Anyway, thanks to you and others for your quick responses!
