I configured openvpn on my Deabian 6 VPS (using OpenVZ) several times but always stuck on "Starting virtual private network daemon: client server failed!"
The syslog indicates, that there seems to be a problem with tun/tan but i am not able to solve the issue:

@MariusMatutiae Yes, I startet OpenVPN as root and actually I got to the bottom of the problem - it was simply that the tun module was not provided by OpenVZ, so after reporting the issue to the hoster, I can now run and also connect to OpenVPN. But now I need to solve the problem, that I can not access internet when using the OpenVPN connection to my server (net.ipv4.ip_forward and iptables are enabled).

The tun module was not available on the VPS using OpenVZ. It can be tested by checking the existance of the /dev/net/tun-folder or by modprobe tun - if the module is not available, you get a fatal error FATAL: Module tun not found. The tun module must be activated in OpenVZ. You can either report the issue to your hoster or check additional articles like the one in OpenVZ Wiki: http://wiki.openvz.org/VPN_via_the_TUN/TAP_device
