Getting ready

This recipe uses the PKI files created in the first recipe of this chapter. Install OpenVPN 2.3.9 or higher on two computers. Make sure the computers are connected over a network. For this recipe, the server computer was running CentOS 6 Linux and OpenVPN 2.3.9 and the client was running Fedora 20 Linux and OpenVPN 2.3.9. Keep the server configuration file, basic-udp-server.conf, handy along with the client configuration file, basic-udp-client.conf, from the Server-side routing recipe.
