VPN port not able to open on server.

[Elangovan_N]

Hello,
I have Installed openvpn on ubuntu server as per following link : https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/openvpn.html.
After installation VPN Client is not able to connect to vpnserver. When i telnet on sever it's saying " Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused "
Please help me How to i check openvpn working or not and why telnet is not opening port 1194 on server.

root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/etc/openvpn# ifconfig tun0
