Additional info: not sure what the issue is but one can connect to openvpn.net sometimes. When I ssh to some virtual machine, it allows me to wget ... or not. Also, sometimes the wget works, sometimes it doesn't. The IP address that sends the last hop response (the traceroute log) is openvpn.net home so to speak (its IP is 67.228.116.150).
So -- at least, thus far -- it does not seem to be the govt blocking it: it just has issues on its end, in other countries...
