Actually I don't think you can do the same thing with a tunnel. You have
to use a different IP addresses for the tunnel itself. Have you read the
OpenVPN manual?

This means that there is a problem with the OpenVPN connection. Can you show
the tail of your logs on both sides?

Why are you using TCP anyway?
