Yealink SIP-T46U not connecting to vpn

I have 2 Yealink phones that will not even try to connect to the VPN. I’ve used Wireshark to watch for the connection and the phone does not even try.
Yealink SIP-T46U firmware version: 108.85.0.15
Yealink W60B firmware: 77.85.0.25 handset W56H
Here is my vpn.cnf file:
client
dev tun
dev-type tun
proto udp
remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 1194 Public IP address followed by vpn port
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
remote-cert-tls server
comp-lzo
verb 3

ca (I had to remove the <> for the forum.)
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
… <---- ca key inserted here
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
/ca

cert
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
Certificate:
… <------ client cert inserted here
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
/cert

key
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
…<----- client key inserted here
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

/key

I think there were changes made on recent firmwares that require a different directory structure of the VPN file. Certs and keys in different files or something like that.

I tried putting the ca, cert and the key in folder structure like /config/openvpn/keys/ then made a tar file. Then uploaded to the phone and it still didn’t work.

I don’t know the exact folder structure, but saw the news and instructions on the Yealink forum a while ago.

I use W60B and T42G
W60B does connect as expected (T42G does not anymore and I had no time to check why and when it stopped connecting). It was set up a few years ago.

W60B Firmware Version 77.81.0.35 Hardware Version 77.0.0.48.0.0.0

Server CA cert is SHA1

You may check if SHA1 is still a requirement and/or try.
