4) Opened the OpenVPN management console, and changed the hostname to my external ip address to allow for external clients to connect.
5) Created a personal profile for me and copied the ".opvn" file to my clients and installed them.
## Coming Later
Once I have a windows server I plan to find out how to implement LDAP authorization for OpenVPN in order to learn how to correctly configure it to work with Active Directory.
