Linux Version:

Service starts up fine
Here is my server.conf ...

#dev tun

What happens/doesn't happen? What do the logs say? What does netstat say? Have you added a NAT rule to your firewall?

Hoesit Koffiejunkie, wtf, i typed out a long lekker reply and hit Post, computer says no

firewall rules are in place, dyndns settings to all everything...
i netstat | grep the life out out prost and names and it resturns nothing.

SSH from remote site works, but if you ping it it does not respond
http does not work...

this is a log status from the openvpn client, there are some clues,,, forgive me, i am not a network OPs techie...

Can I ask why you are running it in bridge mode?
I prefer running it as a separate IP range personally.
I dont have much experience with it in bridge mode but it looks like a routing issue. If you connect a local client to it using an internal IP does that work?
If it does then the only thing can be the external forwarding or routing issues.

If you are connecting with a linux client on the remote side then try to run it with: openvpn client.conf and see what the output of that is.
