Is there any way to open ports on the openvpn?

I know the server itself doesn't block ports, but while on the openvpn connection my PC itself has blocked ports

If I understand you correctly, the network you're on is filtering the outbound ports you're able to send data through, in that case you'd be able to modify the OpenVPN configuration to listen on a separate port. If you aren't running anything on 443, or 80, I'd recommend those as networks aren't likely to block traffic on such commonly used ports, however, restrictive networks may disallow outbound UDP(OpenVPNs default protocol used) on the above ports - in which case, you're able to change the protocol OpenVPN uses to TCP. Keep in mind, to listen on mutliple ports you'll need to run multiple instances of the daemon each with a respective configuration file.

Default OpenVPN configuration file is '/etc/openvpn/server.conf' - search for the 'port' configuration directive, and modify it to the port you want to. You should be able to bind it to any unused port, including privledged ports as by default the daemon is started as root.
