Check if
!DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
is in your xdm-config. And check if xdm is really listening on Port udp/177.

Are you sure you need indirect XDMCP and not just standard? (try -query
instead of -indirect).
Try the numeric ip addresses for REMOTE_HOST and LOCAL_HOST, LOCAL_HOST
needs to be the address send by the VPN gateway.

There is no need to set DISPLAY if you use XDMCP.
