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
