Hello,
I am BRAND NEW at this so you will have to excuse my confusion

I haven't actually set this up yet but I'm waiting for our company's gracious business partner to help us with the test set up.
My understanding is that they will give us a shared key and an ip address.
Is this all there is? They are acting as a server and my Linux server is a client.
Given that my IP address is 192.98.123.7 and their's is 10.0.0.5 (All IP addresses have been changed to protect the innocent)
Is it that I simply push this onto the routing table
ifconfig-push 192.98.123.7 10.0.0.5
And then I can setup Openvpn like thus?:
openvpn --auth sha1 --inactive 28800 --cipher AES-256-CBC
