Using SSH with VPN = Timeout

If im using SSH Connection on my Amazon Kali Server and starting Openvpn connection Im timing out. I already read that i need to add Rules for that but i dont understand how to do it.
All Ips are fictional.
Here's my "ifconfig":

Code:

---

eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 9001
        inet 172.31.36.164  netmask 255.255.240.0  broadcast 172.31.47.255
        inet6 fe80::45b:cdff:fea7:e8e9  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 06:5b:cd:a7:e8:e9  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 613  bytes 69021 (67.4 KiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 589  bytes 119657 (116.8 KiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>  mtu 65536
        inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
        inet6 ::1  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x10<host>
        loop  txqueuelen 1  (Local Loopback)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

And my "route":

Code:

---

Kernel IP routing table
Destination    Gateway        Genmask        Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0        172.31.32.1    0.0.0.0        UG    0      0        0 eth0
172.31.32.0    0.0.0.0        255.255.240.0  U    0      0        0 eth0
