1.5. First trouble shooting
If the above didn't work for you, check this:
• Check your journal, e.g. journalctl --identifier ovpn-server (for server.conf)
• Check that you have specified the keyfile names correctly in client.conf and server.conf.
• Can the client connect to the server machine? Maybe a firewall is blocking access? Check journal on server.
• Client and server must use same protocol and port, e.g. UDP port 1194, see port and proto config option
• Client and server must use same config regarding compression, see comp-lzo config option
• Client and server must use same config regarding bridged vs routed mode, see server vs server-bridge config option
