How to set up OpenVPN correctly?

Question

openvpn

Good night, I'm trying to set up on a fresh VPS from Hetzner. And nothing works. Nothing is written to the logs, and when connected in the interface, it gives only this. For iptables specified.

iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o tun0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

Answer 1

Logs are not written because they are not configured.
There is no option in either client or server configs.

log                   /var/log/openvpn-udp1194.log

For Windows, another directory where to write logs.
On the server, do 2 things:
1) open UDP port 1194
2) check that SELinux is not blocking anything. Can be temporarily disabled
setenforce 0
