==OpenVPN Client Configuration==
==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.
