Thanks for reply, but unfortunately it doesnt work on my other server in different place that runs on ws 2012 r2. So i expect problem somewhere else.
Is the config 100% correct?

So now I am able to ping te server, but cannot acces internet. Ping 8.8.8.8 not responding. Any ideas?

I met the same problem,I tried many times when I setup openvpn server on windows server 2012r2 or 2016 ,it didn't work, but when I turned to windows server 2019 and setup in the same way, it worked well.

So the issues must come from the differences between these windows versions!

I also captured the ip packet to find reason,the result told me that TAP-windows adapter is unable to communicate with Ethernet adapter!

but I don't know why and I don't know how to solve,could anyone help me(windows is too troublesome!)

Perhaps this is due to the fact that spyware software, for example, https://www.hoverwatch.com, was connected to your device. Or the device conflicts with another device. This happens if the TV of one of the latest models is connected in the house.

Perhaps this is due to other devices that are nearby. Some modern TV models may conflict with each other. You can also install spyware that blocks communication, for example, https://www.hoverwatch.com/spy-on-text-messages. Check all your devices by disconnecting each one in turn from the network.
