Thank you for this comprehensive and detailed tutorial. I needed to make a few minor changes to make it work with a Rocky Linux 9 server and client. I have not yet tested a Windows 11 client. One suggestion: mention the version of openvpn that you worked with when you wrote the tutorial. The current version on Epel is 2.5.9-1. I am in the process of replacing a long-time home server that runs Centos 5(!), which has been EOL for many years. I am building a new Rocky Linux 9 server to replace it and all it's functionality (dns server, dhcp server, mail server (sendmail and imap), openvpn server, shorewall firewall, ownCloud, and some other things. The old OpenVPN on Centos 5 is definitely not up to snuff security-wise so I will be quite pleased to get the modern version with better security up and running.
