OpenVPN Help

[sniper8752]

I am trying to VPN into my network from my phone. When I try to connect to my VPN server, it says "server poll timeout, trying next remote entry...". Doing a tcpdump on my external interface for 1194 traffic, I am not seeing any. I can not also telnet from my server to my IP via port 1194. Does it matter if my phone is on my home wi-fi network while trying to vpn into the external network IP? Also, I've added these IPtables rules to my firewall: https://arashmilani.com/post?id=53.

Did you set up port forwarding on your router?

It's not a router, but a server with iptables. Isn't that what the iptables forward chain is for?
Edit: I've enabled port forwarding in Ubuntu.
