If you have never used openvpn before and you are just starting to learn it then I strongly recommend starting with a standard server to multi-client setup.

You may find it easier to start out with a script such as:
Nyr/openvpn-install.sh
angristan/openvpn-install.sh

These require your server to be Linux.

If you are a Windows users then start out with a Virtual machine (eg: VirtualBox) for your Linux server. Use Ubuntu Linux to start with.

Once you are more familiar with openvpn you can setup your own server your own way.

Also, using EasyRSA3 to create your PKI (Public Key Infra-structure) you do not need a "pre-existing secure channel" because you can keep all the private key files properly private.

There is a lot to learn .. so be prepared.
