      OpenVPN server,through public ip address,I can connect, through dynamic dns service(freeDNS),I cannot.

      I am using DNS resolver,DDNS it's updating,in the OpenVPN client export utility I do use DDNS name under host name resolution.

      Any suggestion?

          Does it resolve to the correct outside IP address?

          DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

                Thanks,Derelict, it was something with the freeDns client update, I changed service to DuckDNS and now everything working smoothly.
