So I installed Open VPN on my server (Cent OS) and I installed openvpn on my desktop (WinXP) and I am trying to connect them. I generated all of my key files and certs on my server and copied the client key, cert, and server ca.crt to my client, I believe I have everything configured correctly, but it does not connect. Also on the windows side it indicates my tun adaptor is not connected. Perhaps one of you can tell me where I went wrong. And yes, I did try shut down my windows firewall and my server iptables Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ] Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ] Unloading iptables modules: [ OK ] Here is what I see from my client (windows) Wed Jun 18 08:57:15 2008 OpenVPN 2.0.9 Win32-MinGW [SSL] [LZO] built on Oct 1 2006 Wed Jun 18 08:57:15 2008 IMPORTANT: OpenVPN's default port number is now 1194, based on an official port number assignment by IANA.
