No real answers, but questions that might help ...

Have you tried it without using OpenVPN? Just port-forward the SIP & RTP 
ports, if you need to and give it a go.

Why not IAX?

Are your openVPN end-points up to it? Doing high-grade encryption in 
software might challenge some slower processors - are the VPN endpoints 
the asterisk boxes themselves?
