Ok, I finally took the time to setup my VPN.
I made all the necessary CRT and KEY files, and was able to connect with OpenVPN for Android. I haven't had any success reaching any 44 hosts while connected, except the 44 devices local to the VPN server (I assume). Any ideas anyone?

Are you using split tunnel on the VPN server? You would need to pass all traffic over the VPN to reach other hosts.
Can the VPN server reach other 44 hosts? If not, then routing needs to be adjusted on the VPN server.

Jesse,
Before I connect to OpenVPN:
a.) I browse to whatismyip.com my mobile device's public IP appears. b.) I can browse 44 hosts that have a 44 gateway.
After I connect to OpenVPN:
a.) I browse to whatismyip.com my mobile device's public IP appears. b.) I CANNOT browse any 44 hosts.

You will have to forgive me. I know VPNs from the Cisco IPSec point of view. The concepts should be the same.
When you connect to the VPN, you should be assigned a 44 address from your VPN server pool. You should also be assigned a secured route table and a DNS server if configured.
Now, depending on your VPN server policy config, if you are using split tunneling, any traffic that matches your secured route will flow over the VPN tunnel back to the VPN server and be routed from there. If the traffic does not match the secured route, it uses your device's routing table and tries to route over the public internet. That is why you still see your public IP when you are connected.
Maybe there is an option to disable split tunneling so any traffic will use the secure route when you are connected to the VPN server.
I assume you are using OpenVPN server on Linux? If so, does this link help? https://openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/docs/admin-guides/215-how-to-set...
Is anyone out there more familiar with OpenVPN?
Thanks Jesse - WC3XS

I'm running OpenVPN Connect - for Android, by OpenVPN
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.openvpn.openvpn
- I created Client.conf, Client.cer and Client.key - downloaded amprnet-vpn-ca.crt and amprnet-vpn.ovpn - I placed all files in the same directory - I imported the .ovpn file, the import was successful - I enter the password for my private key - I'm connected and receive an assigned 44 IP from Hessu's VPN IP pool
- but, I cannot reach any 44 IP or hostname (e.g. I cannot reach 44.60.44.12/kb3vwg-012.ampr.org/whatismyip.ampr.org by ping, traceroute or HTTP)

Tom,
I did follow the Wiki. As I noted, I'm able to connect, I just cannot reach any 44/8 address while connected.
Steve,
You have an OpenVPN server too??? How do I connect?

Ok,
I used a terminal screen to ping my gateway 44.60.44.1 while connected to the AMPR_VPN using OpenVPN Connect for Android.
I received the following messages:
From 44.139.11.1 icmp_seq=1 Frag needed and DF set (mtu = 552) ...
and
From 44.139.11.1 icmp_seq=1 Frag needed and DF set (mtu = 0) ...
(I'm only sending 84 bytes).

Pedro,
When you run the program, there is an argument you must include to remove your own route from the list.
