Hi, I'm trying to connect to an OpenVPN server in my office. To do this, I =
installed "OpenVPN 2.0.6 i386-portbld-freebsd7.2 [SSL] [LZO]" from ports, a=
nd looking at different tutorials I found it needs a config file in /usr/lo=
cal/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf. The problem here, is that our server provides=
 an "client.ovpn" file containing all the connection params needed by a cli=
ent, in fact, we connect windows machines just by installing "OpenVPN_Insta=
ller.exe", it configures a TAP device and a client that reads the client.ov=
pn file.=0A=0ANow, in my FreeBSD 7.2 i386 machine, I did this:=0A=0ACreated=
 the /usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf (the port doesn't created it autom=
atically) with this content:=0A=0Aremote 200.80.219.194.static.techtelnet.n=
