OpenVPN setup troubles

macsrule

I've been trying unsuccessfully to try and get an openVPN tunnel working between 2 computers on my LAN.

The computers are connected to a router where I have set them both a static IP

My Server is set at 192.168.1.190
My CLient at 192.168.1.191

To begin with I'm just trying to get a simple tunnel - no no ned for certificates etc yet, I just want to build the layers of security as I go, and to be able to understand what each layer of security is doing.

Now as simple as that all sounds I have so far been unsuccessful in creating a tunnel via OpenVPN. I was wondering if there was anyone who would be able to help

I have found that using the Status > Log Reports section from the OpenVPN AS management GUI is helpful with troubleshooting as the error messages will give you clues...
