The syslog indicates all is normal. The OpenVPN client is connected.

What are using to verify the public IP? If it's the OpenVPN client webpage, sometimes that can have trouble. What ultimately matters is what's reported by your VPN-bound clients. Try using an P checker site like ipchicken.com, infobyip.com, etc.

Btw, I assume you're NOT using PBR (policy based routing), but just routing *everything* through the VPN.
 
"No internet traffic" means you didn't configure the client to redirect Internet traffic.
