IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WINDOWS VISTA/7 USERS

 
 Note that on Windows Vista, you will need to run the OpenVPN
 GUI with administrator privileges, so that it can add routes
 to the routing table that are pulled from the OpenVPN server.
 You can do this by right-clicking on the OpenVPN GUI
 desktop icon, and selecting "Run as administrator".
 
 GENERAL QUICKSTART FOR WINDOWS

 The OpenVPN Client requires a configuration file

 and key/certificate files. You should obtain
 these and save them to OpenVPN's configuration
 directory, usually C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config.

 You can run OpenVPN as a Windows system service or by using
 the client GUI. To use the OpenVPN GUI, double click on the
 desktop icon or start menu icon. The OpenVPN GUI is a
 system-tray applet, so an icon for the GUI will appear in
 the lower-right corner of the screen. Right click on the
 system tray icon, and a menu should appear showing the names
 of your OpenVPN configuration files, and giving you the
 option to connect.
