your configs are very similar to mine, apart from a few cosmetic
differences. ditto for the routing tables.
do you have a firewall at either end? have you enabled tun+ devices
access? I have the following in mine, but depending on your f/w you
might want to insert the rules at the beginning rather than append:
/sbin/iptables --append INPUT --in-interface tun+ --jump ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface tun+ --jump ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables --append OUTPUT --out-interface tun+ --jump ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables --append FORWARD --out-interface tun+ --jump ACCEPT
