OpenVPN is just really complicated, which makes sense because of the context and history. But even me who've done plenty of OpenVPN setups through the years, found Wireguard a lot simpler and easier to both learn and use effectively. So if you haven't tried Wireguard, give it a go, the simplicity is pretty nice.
Note: Wireguard is good because it's simple. It makes point-to-point tunnels, it does that well, and that's all it does. You're on your own for the rest.
