If you want to write a custom configuration, or don't want to use the HDAconnect tool, this will help you set up OpenVPN on a Windows XP/Vista/7 machine, without much of a problem if you have the default settings for Amahi installed and your port forwarding set to 1194 UDP.


'''Step 1:''' Download OpenVPN GUI from http://openvpn.se/

(Click the stable link on the left, choose the installer.)


'''Step 2:''' Install OpenVPN 

You can just click through, and install any drivers it asks you for.


'''Step 3:''' Writing a config file

Open a text editor of your choice, and copy the following:


----

client

dev tun

proto udp

remote '''YOURIPHERE''' 1194  #This needs to be changed per your '''external''' IP address

route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 vpn_gateway 3  #Use your '''network''' IP address, usually a router is at default 192.168.1.1 

resolv-retry infinite

nobind

persist-key

persist-tun

ca ca.crt

cert homehda.crt

key homehda.key

comp-lzo

verb 3

auth-user-pass

route-method exe

route-delay 2

You only need to change the '''bolded''' text.
