My created a ubuntu LTS 14.04 on windows azure.
installed a open VPN service refer to document
https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/openvpn.html
of course, I opened related port on server, such as TCP 22, 443, 943 and UDP 1194.
then I installed open VPN on my windows 7 machine, open VPN GUI showed to me that it connected successfully, but when I opened any website, it showed
"Gateway Timeout"
I used Putty to log on the server, and start the service,
NOTE: there is no [ OK ] at the end of line when I start openvpn service.

Any help will be much appreciated. thx a lot.
p.s.
