I've been playing around with netcat. 
I noticed that the netcat process on my VPN_server does not show any "X" on 
stdout for ports 4500 and 1701.

May it be relevant to my VPN issue?

VPN_serv is A.B.C.77/23 (it is not behind NAT):

$ pfctl -s rules
pass all flags S/SA

$ nc -u -l 500
XXXX

X.Y.Z.11/29$ nc -vuz A.B.C.77 4500
A.B.C.69/23$ nc -vuz A.B.C.77 4500
$ nc -u -l 4500
NOTHING IS HERE

$ nc -u -l 4499
XXXX

$ nc -u -l 4501
XXXX

X.Y.Z.11/29$ nc -vuz A.B.C.77 1701
A.B.C.69/23$ nc -vuz A.B.C.77 1701
$ nc -u -l 1701
NOTHING IS HERE

$ nc -u -l 22
XXXX

$ nc -u -l 1234
XXXX
