OpenVPN 2.1 Client Quickstart for Windows
-----------------------------------------
The OpenVPN Client requires a configuration file
and key/certificate files. You should obtain
these and save them to \Program Files\OpenVPN\config.
To start OpenVPN, first run the OpenVPN GUI by double
clicking the desktop icon. Note that on Windows Vista,
you will probably need to run the OpenVPN GUI with
administrator privileges, so that it can add routes to
the routing table that are pulled from the OpenVPN server.
You can do this by right clicking on the OpenVPN GUI
desktop icon, and selecting "Run as administrator".
The OpenVPN GUI is a system-tray applet, so an icon for the
GUI will appear in the lower-right corner of the screen.
Right click on the system tray icon, and a menu should appear
showing the names of your OpenVPN configuration files, and
giving you the option to connect.
