Try to start the tunnel manually as root and look for eventual errors:

Code: Select all

$ openvpn --verb 3 /path/to/your/configfile

For a better understanding and guidance, please share your installation steps and how you tried to start the server (where you got the error).

I didn't know the process, I just google and got some link where they mention the steps such as:
https://www.techradar.com/how-to/how-to ... se-openvpn
https://www.purevpn.com/what-is-vpn/protocols/openvpn
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/p ... ws-openvpn
Now you suggest me where I made mistakes?

I don't think that it will be possible to suggest anything without propper knowledge about what you configured. So you could either repeat the installation process and share the steps or you could pay someone for on-site consulting.

Best,
