You need to add at least two outgoing static routes to force using 44.18.51.1 as your source.
ip route add 0.0.0.0/1 via 44.18.51.1 dev ens3 (or whatever your interface is called ip route add 128.0.0.0/1 via 44.18.51.1 dev ens3
The reason this works, is because the netmask (/1) is longer than the mask of the default route (/0)
You can add post-up instructions to /etc/network/interfaces, so this is always in place.
Also make sure you have disabled any NAT. Most OpenVPN instruction sets, assume you want to NAT your clients to the server address. You do not want that.

I added by gateway address, 44.18.51.1 to the NIC card on the VPS so can now ping that. The OpenVPN server assigns me an address from the 44.18.51.x range however I cannot access other 44net services and others are not seeing my OpenVPN assigned address when I am active. I note that when using "whatismyip" I am still coming up with the VULTR public address rather than my AMPR address or gateway address. Perhaps I have something configured wrong in OpenVPN server or am I missing a series of DNS entries for each OpenVPN client instances?
