Installing OpenVPN on Ubuntu 12.04
Introduction The company I work for has an OpenVPN server running. Recently I wanted to install the client software on my Windows 7 desktop and my Linux laptop.
Our IT guy kindly supplied me with a executable to install and configure the client under Windows and a config file and certificates for Linux.
Windows 7 worked immediately but under Linux I had to do some extra steps to get it working properly. I’ll document them here for future reference and maybe other people running in to the same issues.
