Open VPN - need some help install/configuring.

I thought that warning pertained to hardening the install, and I don't
harden until the wide open version works, but it turns out you were dead
rite, adding ns-cert-type server to my client install seems to have done
the trick.  I would have continued to ignore that if it was not for the
fact I had to try it in order to reply.
Thanks :)

See references to 2 reboots after configuration here with regards to
Linux OpenVPN bridging mode Error 4:
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=1990.45
What mode are you attempting?

See this message in your Windows log:
Wed Jun 18 08:57:15 2008 WARNING: No server certificate
verification method has been enabled. See
http://openvpn.net/howto.html#mitm for more info.

Of course when you get the verification method right on both sides it's
probably going to work.

Also, what ports do you have open?  You would want to verify that
whatever is listening and sending port traffic is open by using these
commands:

1) tcpdump [in one window on the linux side] (pipe to a file to watch
the transactions and verify all ports are open)
2) lsof [linux side]
3) netstat -anp [linux side] netstat - [windows side]

Check:
Check your configurations against his:

iptables (flush the tables or turn down the firewall from /etc/init.d/
selinux (hopefully permissive if using?)

generated all

key, cert,

configured
