I have installed OpenVPN v2.2.2 in a separate jail on a FreeNAS server, built a CA, server key, created the Diffie-Hellman parameters and a client key largely as described here:
http://unix-heaven.org/node/46. (I say largely as I found that if I had moved the server key, I could not create the client key so I moved all the keys at the end).
I then edited the server.conf file as I believe it should be.
When I try to start openvpn with
openvpn --config server.conf
I get the following output:
root@openvpn:/usr/local/etc/openvpn # openvpn --config server.conf

I have not yet configured port forwarding on my modem to the VPN server. Could this be why the writing to routing socket gives an error?
Any ideas why either of these errors might be occuring? What should I be checking?
Thanks in advance!
