Re: openvpn vista 64 backslash issue
When I last used OpenVPN, quite a long time ago now, I put the client key, ca.crt and ta.key files in the C:\program files\openvpn\config folder on my client so I did not need to use the escape characters. My example client config file then looked like this.
quote:
#
# Customized for SoHo remote access
# Last reviewed - 12 August 2006...awj
#
client
dev tap
proto udp
# The hostname/IP and port of the server.
# Modify for your use.
remote myopenvpn.server.com 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
# Specific user cert and key file.
# Modify for your use.
cert Vpnuser1.crt
key Vpnuser1.key
tls-auth ta.key 1
cipher AES-256-CBC
comp-lzo
verb 3
I put the ca.crt, dh1024.pem or dh2048.pem, server.crt and server.key files in the
C:\program files\openvpn\config folder on the server PC. Here is my example server config file.

ca ca.crt

These are the bridging instructions that I followed.
