Comments on How to install and configure OpenVPN on OpenSUSE Leap 42.1
In this tutorial, I will show you how to implement a virtual private network using OpenVPNvpn under the Linux operating system OpenSUSE Leap 42.1. VPN or Virtual Private Network is a secure private network over a public network like the internet. A VPN is a secure tunnel trough the internet which protects your data traffic and increases internet privacy and security. Access to the VPN is restricted by secure authentication methods.

This how to fails for me at step 4 with an error at "systemctl start openvpn@server"
with the error statement "Failed to start OpenVPN tunneling daemon instance using /etc/openvpn/server.conf."
Apparently the command should be "systemctl start [email protected]" but his fails as well.
There appears to be a typo in your instructions in step 5 configuring the firewall TCP. Are there possibly others?
Check your openvpn log on "/var/log/openvpn/openvpn.log" to see the error.
Great Tutorial, I used it to connect a GLI Router to an AWS SUSE SLES12 OpenVPN Server. Thank you for that. One little thing which cost me hours was that you ommitted the "pull" statement in the openVPN client config. Without that the push statements of the server aren't evaluated, which is necessary at least for the routing. Anyway great - maybe you can add the "pull" statement.
