You would have to open the port for OpenVPN in your router to connect from outside the LAN, google it for instructions for your router model.

Also verify that your .ovpn profiles use the public IP of the router at the remote option, you probably have the LAN IP now. Edit the file /etc/openvpn/client-template.txt too if this is the case.
