n00b Help Setting up.

Kempeck · Post by **Kempeck** » Sun Jul 05, 2015 4:00 pm

Dear OpenVPN,

I am a Noob at proxies and need some help. I have looked over all of the setup and help links/files, searched google, and and watched umpteen YouTube videos.

I have installed the open VPN Client on my home computer (win 7 SP1 x64), and PrivateTunnel. I have downloaded config files from https://www.hidemyass.com/vpn-config/ (vpn-configs.zip) and placed the tcp & udp folders in my OpenVPN Configuration Files directory (per the shortcut. I trimmed the config files for to USA.Georgia.Atlanta_LOC1S4TCP & UDP).

I start OpenVPN and the icon, in the sys-tray, is a greyed out computer screen with a lock on it. I start PrivateTunnel and it connects, to Chicago. I am able to browser the internet. I checked my IP with bandwidthplace.com & it showed the Chicago IP.

I need to proxy my torrenting. My ISP is monitoring me HARD. I use BitTorrent, but have used uTorrent previously, and need to setup the proxy so it will work and my torrent client will function properly. Do I need to rent a server, somewhere, to run a server-client on? I assumed these proxy servers were part of the price I paid for this service.

I have been at this for 4+ days, solid, and am losing my mind, for something that shouldn't be that difficult. Someone PLEASE help me?!?!

Below is listed my log file:
