[arch-general] Help me with OpenVPN

[Gaurish Sharma]

Hi,
I am trying to connect to a OpenVPN  but no success. it says
"openvpn[5052]: TCP: connect to xx.xx.xx.xx:1723 failed, will try
again in 5 seconds: Connection refused" and this goes on.

On Server Side, I checked openVPN is running OKAY but its not listing
to port 1723.

here is my server config:
port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
ca /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/server.crt
key /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/server.key
dh /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/dh1024.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
push "redirect-gateway def1"
push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"
client-to-client
comp-lzo
max-clients 10
user nobody
group users

Here is the log on server:
