IMPORTANT NOTE FOR VISTA USERS
Note that on Windows Vista, you will 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".
GENERAL 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 on the desktop icon or start menu icon.
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.
