I don't follow Step 9 — Creating a Unified OpenVPN Profile for Client Devices, i understood that it's if we use others clients machines ?

@skiron
From searching a bit, it seems like this is a problem, when you're being blocked on the client side (that could be a firewall or even the ISP trying to block traffic on port 1194)
If you change port to 443 on the server, restart openvpn, then change it on the client, does that fix it?

Hello,

i change the port in server and client, i have the same problem

vi /etc/openvpn/server.conf

port 443

ufw allow 443/udp
ufw status
To Action From

22 ALLOW Anywhere
443/udp ALLOW Anywhere
22 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)

i wrote in file client.ovpn
