CentOS 5.6
Hi, good morning. I`m would like to thanks for your tutorial. i`ve tried a lot but no success.
Your tutorial worked for me, but I had to make some changes, actually, a little additions:

wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm

yum install gcc
yum install bridge-utils
yum install lzo-devel-2.04-1.el5.rf

and before create the certificates a had to update the system to prevent a error with ssl.
I made a script to install openvpn and I tested in a new machine and worked!!!!

Thanks a lot one more time.
P.S: I`m brazilian

you create the keys at root, then use filezilla to sftp to Your server etc/keys folder, dl the keys to your PC. those are the keys you send to the client to install in there. configuration folder along with there. opvn file.

It is ridiculous how complicated setting up VPNs is.

Some server which run on top of OpenVZ may experiencing an error while attempting to run the service (/etc/init.d/openvpn always resulting [FAILED]) due to no support for TUN/TAP interfaces on it.
Later I switched to a KVM based server, and it works! (and I thought it should be working on Xen too)
