OpenVPN does not use provided port

Solution 1:

OpenVPN prints out 1194. Where is it taking that from?

Tue Feb 05 20:26:18 2019 UDP link local (bound): [AF_INET][undef]:1194
Tue Feb 05 20:26:18 2019 UDP link remote: [AF_INET]1.1.1.1:80

1194 is the source port on your computer, that the VPN client is connecting out through. It typically uses that source port, although I'm not sure why it does that - maybe just to make the traffic easy to identify.

80 is the destination port on the server that it is connecting to, which is as you want.

If you add an lport directive to your config file, e.g. lport 4242, that should allow you to change the source port to something less confusing.
