Hello,
Followed the tutorial - and now I am in the process of testing - UDP was failing with TLS handshake - so decided TCP - same result. Ran tcpdump on the server and confirmed that openvpn server is not responding to syn packets; the server is listening on port 1194
[root@piratevpn ~]# tcpdump port 1194 -nn
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
