Thanks for making it extremely difficult to download the OpenVPN server. If you want to sell a licensed version (OpenVPN Access Server) and a free version (OpenVPN Community or just OpenVPN?), more power to you guys. But fucking put on your front page clear download links to each one, and better yet some sort of clue as to the difference between them. You've got four sections on your front page, two of which is some private tunnel bullshit that appears to have nothing to do with OpenVPN but certainly appear to be the client software you need.
Then you got a "Community" link which commonly just means forums, how-to guides, and documentation. But no, that's a different product. So fuck me if I tried to use the guides there to configure OpenVPN Access Server. Finally find the quick start guide for the OpenVPN AS virtual machine, and set up an layer 2 VPN. Try to connect with windows clients, which get IP addresses from the server side DHCP server, but nothing gets routed. Sounds like a simple configuration issue with your server.conf or client.ovpn, but since locate and "find / -type f -iname server.conf -exec echo {} \;" says the file doesn't exist, you are just SOL.
So fine, run the community edition and use it's documentation. Not that the documentation really helps, as all file locations are vague as hell. Look at this and tell me where you are supposed to move the sample configuration files after you are done editing them:
http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#config
No fucking where is the answer. So after manually running openvpn community so that it uses your newly configured server.conf, you try to connect your windows client. No dice and you check your client logs OH WAIT where the fuck are those? Documentation shits the bed and you can't find that information either. Let's put it in the Program Files folder in etc/logs/, because that makes sense instead of %AppData%. Oh wait, is there a difference between the openvpn client used for the AS and the community edition? Because I seem to remember one being a 4 MB installer and the other 15 MB, so it sure as hell seems like it.
Thanks for the ban in advance assholes.
