Hello. I bought a VPS Ubuntu 16.04.4 from digitalocean.
Used putty for remote connection to the machine
set up open-vpn using linux commands
Downloaded open vpn client.
Use my loginid and password but it gives this result
Unable to obtain Session ID from X.X.X.242:443: XML-RPC: ConnectionRefusedError: 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it…
Any help?

It looks like you are trying to connect to port 443. By default, OpenVPN uses 1194 over UDP. Try configuring your client to use that instead. Make sure you are not using OpenVPN Access as it’s a different product.
