Over the past couple of days I have been working on making a VPN for personal use outside of the house (school, work, etc.) and everything has gone smoothly. But today a problem has arisen that hasn't before.
I haven't ever started the server before this, and I don't know how to start the server though the GUI (I prefer command prompt anyway), and when running the server for the first time everything appears to be working, except the problem is that the server will not route. Here is what the command prompt displays:

When attempting to ping the server using command prompt, it returns a 'request timed out' and that's it.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you need server or client configs, please post to let me know.
Thank you.
