Strange problem i cannot figure out please help !!

KrondaliX

Okay i'm used to openvpn from 5 years actually, i had made many servers/clients connections.

I'm facing a really strange issue i don't even understand what i should do so perhaps someone here can help me out.

I have a VM server available with failover IP from OVH so there is NO firewall expect the windows one (i had installed hyper-v server with virtual machine i have attemped to connect too without firewall to be sure it's not security policy).

Installed the openvpn server, running and working.
Myself in switzerland i can connect to it with my keys and every other clients keys, but i have a friend in Albania that cannot connect to it.

So he called his ISP, they told my friend that they are not blocking VPN connections, we have configured his router for port 1194, we have attemped more differents ports and no he cannot connect 🙁 The fact is yes he can ping the IP address of server, he can RDP the server, but the openvpn GUI client won't connect !? It's stucked in MANAGMENT STATE WAIT,,, and server site don't receive any packets.

I'm using the same client config file as mine for my friend, but no... it's like he cannot find out the server.

I've attemped dev-tap, dev-tun, udp, tcp and others options i have no clue what's going on !!!

Please help me !
