What Subnet= settings have you used in each hosts file on each host?

In the hosts files, you might want to try setting each host's Subetto its
own <VPN ip address>/32.  For example:

On the first:
Subnet=10.23.23.1/32

On the second:
Subnet=10.23.23.2/32

The subnet of a host (in the host's hosts file) is different from the
subnet of the VPN interface on the host.
