| Can anyone point me in the right direction for setting up OpenVPN? Is
there a step-by-step guide anywhere?
I have tried following the guides on the OpenVPN website, but just wind
up confusing myself more. I am wanting to run a simple VPN from my
home to my office with ethernet bridging. I am getting hung up trying
to generate the security certificates, and reference these in the
config files that OpenVPN requires. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

| GotoMyPC is definitely NOT what I am looking for. I need full network
access, not just remote computer access. Besides, if that is all I was
looking for, I would use a VNC client, not GotoMyPC.
I consider myself above the 'average' user when it comes to computer
skills. I am simply having trouble getting clear instructions I need
to generate the security certificates OpenVPN requires. This is
something new to me, and most instructions I find are aimed at Linux
users.

Why dont't you try first with a shared key and see if that works. Then
try to do it with the certificates.
I did it following the openvpn site guides and works great. My server
is a Slackware 10 box and the client I use is a Win XP SP2 via modem.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!!
