Uninstall OpenVPN on OSX

Post by jbc13rds » Mon Dec 23, 2013 3:35 pm

I installed OpenVPN through instructions provided by my NetGear Router. I realized after the fact that I did not want to install this on my OSX machine, but actually my Windows machine that I want to use for my VPN server. I now need help uninstalling this from my OSX machine. Basically, the steps I used to install it are as follows:
1. downloaded latest tar.gz from the downloads page and extracted into a folder on my OSX machine.
2. ran the ./configure && make && make-install command in my terminal.

Those were the only steps I have taken so far. I apologize for the most likely extremely n00b question, but I am fairly new to OSX/Unix/Bash so I am feeling my way through this. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

In normal circumstances you can just run the

sudo make uninstall

in the folder that you run the ./configure
