[deleted] I'll try to be concise. My Linux Debian VPS host changed IP addresses. This is how they did it. Quote, "we simply changed the IP for your VPS container. On reboot, the OS you have running in your container (Linux) sees the new IP and takes it as its own." Unquote I thought there was nothing to worry about as all the other services moved easily, SSH and everything else works fine when I connect via both IP addresses (old IP and new IP). However, openVPN is having the TLS shake error as follows: TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity). I changed to the new IP address in my client config of course. I also tried re-issuing my self-signed CA and regular certificates on their new IP address but it didn't help. I totally flushed all my iptable rules / firewalls but it did not help either. I am completely lost. What do I need to do to fix this error? I would be really grateful for any comments / advices / assistance. Much appreciated in advance!

[deleted] Yeah.. that sounds crazy, I know. This is quickhost. Apart from that, are there any suggestions please, if I could possibly do anything to fix it? I can of course change the host and buy a brand-new VPS and install your openVPN there. I have been using openVPN for a long time and love it. The issue also is that I am currently pressed for time and need it to be running rather quick... so I thought it could be faster to troubleshoot this one.. but.. it looks like it may not..
[deleted] Thank you for the update. I was not born yesterday though and the log files were actually the first place I checked. Anyway, I dumped that silly host and created another VPS elsewhere. They replied later on that the issue was where it says it is (my initial post). "Check network connectivity". That's where the problem was, they have faulty network. It was not openVPN's fault.
