Hi there.

I have notebook that is running winXP and Redhat9.0. The vpn works under windows. I am having difficulty in doing the same under linux.
I have dir /etc/openvpn where my certificates are stored.The files are:
ca.crt
cliet-john.doe-1.crt
cliet-john.doe-1.csr
cliet-john.doe-1.key

and the following txt file called client.ovpn

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote vpn.ucs-software.co.za 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client-john.doe-1.crt
key client-john.doe-1.key
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 3
auth-user-pass

The 3G card has been setup and it works. Used kppp linked /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/modem

If I do "service openvpn restart", everything shows "OK"

I have tried the man page but I'm still blank as to what I need to do now.

I would appreciate some guidance at this point.

So what cmds are you trying, and what are the exact errors/msgs ?
