Apologies, I forgot I am only subscribed to the daily digest, so I am sure

I ran traceroute both ways as you show above.  This was run with the 
firewall rules in place, which includes a rule for allowing OpenVPN access 
to Port 1194.  The results for both are the same, with the excerpts shown 
below, with my public IP's sanitized.

[root@disect ~]# traceroute <fqdn>
traceroute to <fqdn> (66.77.88.99), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1  pfgateway.mei.lan (192.168.112.11)  0.151 ms  0.131 ms  0.191 ms
... snip ...
19  66.77.88.99 (66.77.88.99)  62.059 ms  62.765 ms  57.293 ms

[root@disect ~]# traceroute -U -p 1194 <fqdn>
traceroute to <fqdn> (66.77.88.99), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1  pfgateway.mei.lan (192.168.112.11)  0.173 ms  0.166 ms  0.155 ms
... snip ...
19  66.77.88.99 (66.77.88.99)  60.778 ms  64.631 ms  61.087 ms

So with this information and my previous tests, which is correct. 
Traceroute saying that Port 1194 is open, or nmap saying the Port 1194 is 
not open.  I am beginning to think that it is not a firewall issue, and that 
there is something else causing the TLS error.  What other potential things 
might cause the TLS error listed below?

Tue May 06 12:57:14 2014 us=986234 read UDPv4: Connection reset by peer
(WSAECONNRESET) (code=10054)
Tue May 06 12:57:44 2014 us=875834 TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to
occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)
Tue May 06 12:57:44 2014 us=875834 TLS Error: TLS handshake failed
