Installing Open VPN --CLIENT-- in Windows Server 2008

Post by jbosch » Thu Sep 23, 2010 12:32 am

Hi there,

I want to connect to a VPN Server. I install VPN client with a config file and a certificate in my workstation, and it works fine. But then I try to do the same, install the VPN client in a windows server 2008, with the config file and the same certificate, and it does not work. ¿Do you know why?

Please note that I want to install openvpn CLIENT in a WServer2008, not the SERVER.

Thanks!

you say you installed the "client"
openvpn-client is for access-server
if you run the opensource version as your server, you also need the opensource version on your client, www.openvpn.net/download to get that
if you in fact run access-server, see this
