TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)

Hi! I need help please. I'm stumped after reading the overviews, examples, tutorials on openvpn and documents on Debian OpenVPN wiki. I'm trying to set up openvpn between 2 devices. I'm using tun & udp at the default port.

EDIT:

I've removed the logs and conf. Decided to stick with static mode. Thank you.

P.S. to Mods. Sorry for this post. Please remove or lock the thread. Thank you.

According to your logs, your client cannot reach your server.

You only need --verb 4 for debugging connection problems.

Isn't that weird? It can reach the server with just a static key with same port, etc. There's no firewall, port is open. It should connect unless I'm missing something here.

Alright .. let us find out where this goes.

You two .. get the key maker.

That's a nice trick.

I cannot go back.

I've already read the reference manual. I know the drill - find the answers on my own first and when I'm stumped, then ask around. Thanks for the link.

I've decided to use static mode instead of ssl/tls.

You know .. your predecessors had much more respect.
