OpenVPN - Server not reponding to client on Windows 10 machine

[voiceafx]

Please forgive my ignornace, as I'm new to this. I set up an OpenVPN server, but haven't been able to connect to it from a Windows 10 machine. It gets stuck on the MANAGEMENT: WAIT state.

Some details about my setup:

Any ideas about where I can look to see why the client isn't able to talk with the server?

Thanks!

where are the SSL/TLS options from the client config ?
where are the logs ?
