11 This goes on the server, in whatever directory (ccd?) you're using for
12 the client configs. It's specified by the client-config-dir parameter in
13 openvpn.conf on the server. Add it to a file called "DEFAULT" so it
14 applies to every VPN client.

16 Once you have that set up (don't forget to restart OpenVPN!), connect to
17 the VPN with your EeePC. You should see something in the logs like,
18
19 Feb 14 10:40:40 [openvpn] SENT CONTROL [vpn1.example.com]:
20 'PUSH_REQUEST' (status=1)
21
22 Feb 14 10:40:40 [openvpn] PUSH: Received control message:
23 'PUSH_REPLY,topology subnet,route-gateway...
24
25 Feb 14 10:40:40 [openvpn] /bin/ip route add 10.1.1.0/24 via 192.168.151.1
26
27 ... (more /bin/ip/route commands)
28
29 At that point your EeePC should be able to ping things on the 10.1.1.x
30 subnet. Make sure that works, and then start messing with the printer.

32 You shouldn't need anything on the client except a minimal openvpn.conf
33 and your keys.
