Whether that *will* help depends on your firewall -- some (like 
shorewall) go to a closed state when shut down -- good security policy, 
but not necessarily intuitive.

In any event, you might try using tools such as Ethereal and (should 
your firewall be configured to log rejected packets) dmesg output to 
figure out exactly where the requests are going -- and, also to the 
point, where they're *not* going. If ethereal's output looks like the 
packets are reaching their destination, you can use strace to see if 
they're being handed off to OpenVPN by the operating system.
