IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WINDOWS VISTA/7 USERS
Note that on Windows Vista, you will need to run the OpenVPN
GUI with administrator privileges, so that it can add routes
to the routing table that are pulled from the OpenVPN server.
You can do this by right-clicking on the OpenVPN GUI
desktop icon, and selecting "Run as administrator".
GENERAL QUICKSTART FOR WINDOWS
The OpenVPN Client requires a configuration file
and key/certificate files. You should obtain
these and save them to OpenVPN's configuration
directory, usually C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config.
You can run OpenVPN as a Windows system service or by using
the client GUI. To use the OpenVPN GUI, double click on the
desktop icon or start menu icon. The OpenVPN GUI is a
system-tray applet, so an icon for the GUI will appear in
the lower-right corner of the screen. Right click on the
system tray icon, and a menu should appear showing the names
of your OpenVPN configuration files, and giving you the
option to connect.
