Connecting to OpenVPN

Asked by letharion in Gentoo Linux, Virtual Private Networking (VPN), Miscellaneous Networking

I have 2 servers that I'd like to create a permanent connection between using openvpn.
The server I'm in control of will be the client.

I've tried various things I've found on the internet, and all of them end with different error messages that make little sense to me. Since I've mostly executed commands "at random", becuase some blog post said so, I opt not to post the details of my mistakes here, but rather ask that you set me on the right path from the start, rather than correcting my likely errounous course.

Probably important, by the server side of things, I've been given a few files:
x-ca.crt
x-client.crt
x-client.key
x-client.ovpn
x-tls.key
