      Packet capture wouldn't be helpful, really. The OpenVPN client log and OpenVPN server log would most likely have anything you'd need.

            TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)

            This says you couldn't connect.. See how it says check network connectivity..

              Unfortunately that error from the client side is pretty generic. The server log would have better information. (And if there are no entries in the server log from their connection attempts, then they are definitely not connecting to the OpenVPN instance on the server side...)

                ^ true.. the log on the server will show if server is seeing any connection attempt at all..
