Is there anyway i can make logs in OpenVPN for every specific user what ip/website and ports they visited, basicaly is like a logs but our users connect to the server using open vpn.

No. You misunderstand what a VPN is.

A VPN makes a remote pc function as if it is on another network physically. If you want to log that type of information you would need to setup the same kind of logging as you would for any pc that is locally on that network-- eg: squid, dansguardian, traffic monitor, local programs, etc.

A VPN is not an http proxy.
