Hi to all,
this is my first post and I hope I'm not infringing any rule.
I'm totally new to OpenVPN.
I've installed OpenVPn on XP SP3 as server, I haven't installed the client yet, following this tutorial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHSUwyuD1Xw. My goal is to create a VPN so a client can connect from Italy to the server in the UK and it can surf the net appearing to be in the UK. Everything went well and I was able to connect, but after a restart of the system when I try to connect I get the message: Error opening logfile for writing E:\Programs\OpenVPN\log\server.log You probably don't have administrator privileges, which are necessary to run OpenVPN.
I'm the only user of the machine and I have administrator privileges. I'm running OpenVPN (ver. 2.1.3) as service and I'm trying to connect from the GUI v1.0.3.
Any help would be appreciate, thanks in advance
