So I am new at this and having following problem in my test installation.
I have followed the how-to for the Windows installation provided here:
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Easy_Windows_Guide
So far so good. Now when I try to connect however from my client, I just get into a time out. So it seems I cannot connect for some reason. I have forwarded the port 1194 to the server however when I try to check with
http://www.canyouseeme.org/ on the port, it says "connection timed out" as well. I have fiddled around with this yesterday for a couple of hours, tried TCP, UDP, tap, tun, but no combination worked. When I fire up the server, it says that it is connected and I can't see any errors in the log even though I have raised the alert level.
Before I go on I want to make completely sure that I have configured this correctly and that I should look for the error on the network side of things instead of OpenVPN.
Server Config (just the active parameters so save you a read, hope I got everything):
port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
ca "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\ca.crt"
cert "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\tcwvpn.crt"
key "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\tcwvpn.key" # This file should be kept secret
dh "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\dh1024.pem"
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log

Client side (same as above):

proto udp
remote IPofmyserverintheInternetandyesIhavedoublecheckedthat 1194

persist-key
persist-tun
ca "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\ca.crt"
cert "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\marc.crt"
key "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\marc.key"

What do you think? Where else should I look?
Any help is appreciated, thank you!
