Hi James.

First of all, thanks for the great product - I have only used OpenVPN for a short time, but have found it to be easy to use and quite powerful.  Compared to some other VPN solutions, configuration was a dream.  I have now set it up in both a Windows --> Windows, and Windows --> Linux environments and it is working great.

I though I would pass these along in case you were interested.  I took the configuration files from one of my windows -- > windows systems that is using a bridge (XP Pro on both sides).  I added notes from my own and your documentation as to what I was doing and why, and compiled a 'host' and 'client' setup file.  

A lot of what is in here is already in your documentation, but I thought it might be useful as a 'cookbook' for anyone who wants to try the same setup.  Any areas that I had inital problems with I tried to explain so that, hopefully, it should be useful to others who had the same questions I did.

In any case, feel free to use some, all, or none of these - whatever suits you.  I hope to add to these for my own use in the short term future, and as I add RSA Keys/other improvements to my own setup.  I will pass them along as well if you are interested (or if I see any of this on the site :-).  

Thanks very much again,
Mike Long


Hi James.
 
First of all, thanks for the great product - I have only used OpenVPN for a short time, but have found it to be easy to use and quite powerful.  Compared to some other VPN solutions, configuration was a dream.  I have now set it up in both a Windows --> Windows, and Windows --> Linux environments and it is working great.
 
I though I would pass these along in case you were interested.  I took the configuration files from one of my windows -- > windows systems that is using a bridge (XP Pro on both sides).  I added notes from my own and your documentation as to what I was doing and why, and compiled a 'host' and 'client' setup file. 
 
A lot of what is in here is already in your documentation, but I thought it might be useful as a 'cookbook' for anyone who wants to try the same setup.  Any areas that I had inital problems with I tried to explain so that, hopefully, it should be useful to others who had the same questions I did.
 
In any case, feel free to use some, all, or none of these - whatever suits you.  I hope to add to these for my own use in the short term future, and as I add RSA Keys/other improvements to my own setup.  I will pass them along as well if you are interested (or if I see any of this on the site :-). 
 
Thanks very much again,
Mike Long
