==OpenVPN Client Configuration==
 +
 +
The Win2k/XP/Vista client installation is quite simple and pretty much only require the Windows GUI and a configuration file. The Windows GUI can be downloaded from openvpn.net. If you run Vista you need to use the 2.1 Release Candidate (today RC9) http://openvpn.net/release/openvpn-2.1_rc9-install.exe to get it to work. Windows 2K/XP users can use the stable version http://openvpn.net/release/openvpn-2.0.9-install.exe
 +
 +
When the GUI has been installed you need to create a configuration file for your VPN tunnel. Create a file in "C:/Program Files/OpenVPN/config" called VPN.ovpn with the following content and where you change the vpn.yourdomain.com to match your configuration.
 +
 +
port 1194
 +
dev tap
 +
remote vpn.yourdomain.com
 +
tls-client
 +
auth-user-pass
 +
ca ca.crt
 +
cert client.crt
 +
key client.key
 +
mtu-test
 +
tun-mtu 1500
 +
tun-mtu-extra 32
 +
mssfix 1450
 +
pull
 +
comp-lzo
 +
verb 4
 +
 +
You now need to copy the Client keys you generated during the Server installation to the same directory on the Win2k/XP/Vista client. The following keys and certificates must be copied to the "C:/Program Files/OpenVPN/config" folder.
 +
 +
    * ca.crt
 +
    * client.crt
 +
    * client.key
 +
 +
The Client installation is now complete and the user will be prompted upon login for the username and passwords.
