So I have downloaded OpenVPN with
apt-get install openvpn

And I have tried following the following links
http://openvpn.net/index.php/access-ser ... ients.html
http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-sourc ... howto.html

But I get error messages, can someone please explain what to do after downloading it. Like in the simplest form possible.

I want to have all my internet traffic going through one of openvpn's servers. Like I am now on my windows machine. I am not sure if I am posting this in the right board, sorry if that is the case.

Thanks

points to note
1) It is implied that you to set up router static DHCP to the PI, and know how to setup port-forwarding
on the router, I used port 80 udp, but you can use whatever you like. the default is usually port 1194 udp
that the PI will have a fixed NAT address e.g. 192.168.1.6 and port 80 UDP is port forwarded to 192.168.1.6
2) I had to use a dynamic DNS host to access the PI, hence the bit about no-ip
3) I changed the ca.crt name to capi.crt because I have more than one VPN
