Re: openvpn vista 64 backslash issue

When I last used OpenVPN, quite a long time ago now, I put the client key, ca.crt and ta.key files in the C:\program files\openvpn\config folder on my client so I did not need to use the escape characters. My example client config file then looked like this.

#

client

dev tap

proto udp

# The hostname/IP and port of the server.
# Modify for your use.

remote myopenvpn.server.com 1194

resolv-retry infinite

nobind

persist-key
persist-tun

ca ca.crt

# Specific user cert and key file.
# Modify for your use.

cert Vpnuser1.crt
key Vpnuser1.key

tls-auth ta.key 1

cipher AES-256-CBC

comp-lzo

verb 3

I put the ca.crt, dh1024.pem or dh2048.pem, server.crt and server.key files in the
C:\program files\openvpn\config folder on the server PC. Here is my example server config file.

ca ca.crt

# This tunnels ALL network traffic between server and
# client when the client is connected. See the How-To
# for details - »openvpn.net/howto.html#redirect

push "redirect-gateway def1"
push "dhcp-option DNS 10.8.0.1"

tls-auth ta.key 0

These are the bridging instructions that I followed.

FWIW, here is my small OpenVPN How-To that you may be interested in.
