I'm new to VPN, setting it up for school and I keep getting this error, and this is what my log looks like each time:

hi there,


>WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled. See http://openvpn.net/howto.html#mitm for more info.

probably you need to add this

ns-cert-type server

into server config.

>There are no TAP-Win32 adapters on this system. You should be able to create a TAP-Win32 adapter by going to Start -> All Programs -> OpenVPN -> Add a new TAP-Win32 virtual ethernet adapter.

also you havent install TAP interface into your windows..

go Start -> All Programs -> OpenVPN -> Add a new TAP-Win32 virtual ethernet adapter.

please post server config to assist you further..
