Host1Plus VPS - running openvpn connection refused

Hi,

maybe you can help.
Bought a VPS (tun/tap included) on host1plus running openvpn on it.

i used this guide http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/world-of-warcraft/world-of-warcraft-general/523377-vps-cheap-private-vpn-openvpn-how-get-cheap-vpn.html#post3304371
based on https://vpnreviewer.com/openvpn-howto-debian-ubuntu-vps

tried port 1194 and other ports.

i got the same setup running with another VPS Provider, so i guess something is fishy with host1plus. already placed a ticket at their support, but i would like to ask here, in the meanwhile 🙂

openvpn connects, but when i start my browser i get ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

Please see the Forum rules (top of page)

what did host1plus tech support tell you? their web site has a live chat.
