I would have, except it is not. In fact I do not even use linux...
The server config runs on freebsd, and the client is being used with osX and freebsd. However, all you need to change for it to work on windows is the paths to the config files, and remove user/group. Possibly a 'route-method exe' to work around windows lameness...
But yes, it works on linux too ;]
Here is each config changed for windows just in case anyone else is confused:
1) all files referenced below belong in C:\Program Files\Openvpn\config\ including the configs, which should end with the extension .ovpn
2) You can and should still lower privileges when using openvpn on windows. Above we did that with user/group... for windows please see:
