Open VPN - need some help install/configuring.

Eventually I edited the iptables to add something like '-A
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5525 -d
10.8.0.1 -j ACCEPT', then I restarted 'service iptables restart',
checked the status 'service iptables status', verified it worked from my
vpn and not from the outside world, saved it for good measure 'service
iptables save', exported it 'iptables-save > firewall-config' so I can
restore it when I need to using 'iptables-restore < firewall-config'
 
It works for now.

It is the openvpn default.  I am using a class c for the dhcp, but I do
not want to conflict with the more common 192.168.x.x  I could have
picked something else like 172.22.72.x but it was the default so I left
it while trying to figure out how to get it to work.  The error ended up
being caused by the lack of the following line in my client's conf
'ns-cert-type server '
 
But thank you :)

Bryon,

Verify this subnet mask?  It looks like it's a class B address with a C
mask.

Wed Jun 18 08:42:41 2008 /sbin/route add -net 10.8.0.0 netmask
255.255.255.0 gw 10.8.0.2

That would certainly cause Error 4.

generated all

key, cert,

configured
