Despite portforwarding and editing UFW I can't connect to my openvpn server.

[Sphixs]

Hello,

I've been tearing my hair out trying to solve this problem and I hope that you guys can help me solve it.

I have an Ubuntu 16.10 server on which I tried to install Openvpn by using this guide (https://www.digitalocean.com/communi...n-ubuntu-16-04).
Everyting seemed to go smoothly and with lots of self-confidence, I fired up OpenVPN Connect on my android phone (using the network of the mobile provider) ... to find out that it wasn't working.
I did the portforwarding correctly and I've flushed iptables before setting UFW.

I get this message when I want to connect my phone to the OpenVPN network: Waiting for server;
And this is the log file on my phone:

Event: Resolve
Contacting: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1194 via UDP (it is in fact showing my real ip)
Event: wait
Server poll timeout, trying next remote entry

And this message repeats itself constantly


Does someone has a solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance!
