OpenVPN configuration
Hello experts,
I have setup OpenVPN on a Windows Server 2008 R2 and on a Windows XP client.
Here is the server.ovpn config file:
port 61099
proto tcp
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key
dh dh1024.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
keepalive 10 120
client-to-client
comp-lzo
max-clients 100
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 3
Here is the client.ovpn config file:
client
dev tun
proto tcp
remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 61099 ; xxx is the remote server address
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
verb 3
verb 4
mute 5
tun-mtu 1500
route-method exe
route-delay 2
redirect-gateway def1
comp-lzo yes
mssfix 1390
Client is connecting successfully to the server, and here is the client routing table after connection:
