The problme was on the server, it had my address restricted in firewall.

I managed to make the tunnel. And I could ping the 192.168.23.1 address
from mine 192.168.23.4. I had to restart the serivce because I did some
changes to the OpenVPN client configuraton. Now I cannot ping again. But
according to tcpdump the connection is there. And I cannot even ping
mine 192.168.23.4. Missing routes or someting, after I restarted the serice?
