Once conected, OpenVPN makes no difference between client and server, we just need to define which endpoint will bind on a local port waiting for a connection of the remote endpoint.

Now, you want to connect both servers, so that the two private networks can see each other.

We will configure SME1 as a OpenVPN client and SME2 as an OpenVPN server. We'll use the shared secret method as it's easier to configure.

Now, on SME2, add a new server, and configure it like this:

Then, click on the next button, we'll have a page to configure the shared secret key. We can generate such keys using openvpn command (on your SME Server, or on another linux box. I'm not sure if we can do the same under Windows). To create a new key, type the following command on your shell:
 +
 
 +
openvpn --genkey --secret /dev/stdout
 +
 
 +
And copy the output in the page of the server-manager, like this:
