IPsec VPN for non-technical Windows users

Yes that's correct. You can tighten that up as needed of course.

Brilliant. I can't actually ping or reach anything at the moment, but I've not read any of the docs yet, so I'll go and check up on some of the OpenVPN-related stuff.
Thanks, all.

The client needs to run as Administrator (unless you're using the openvpnmanager gui running it as a service) or it can't add routes.
To make sure you're actually pushing routes to the client, ensure you have the "local network" box filled in, or that you have the option set to redirect the client gateway so that all traffic goes over the tunnel.

Hmmmm.
Which version of windows are you using?If its not windows XP, you need to right click the install file and "run as admin" otherwise you get connected but won't route you anywhere.
If you didn't install it as admin, easy fix is uninstall it, then reinstall (Run as admin this time).Occasionally you get an issue where you have to allow it in your firewall rules on a windows box, depending on the firewall.
