For the VPN tunnel to work, the local LAN IP address of the remote cable modem router must use a different
LAN IP scheme from that of the local LAN where your VPN client computer is connected. If both networks
use the same LAN IP scheme, when the VPN tunnel is established, you cannot access your home cable
modem router or your home network with the OpenVPN software.
The default LAN IP address scheme for the cable modem router is 192.x.x.x.The most common IP schemes
are 192.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x, and 10.x.x.x. If you experience a conflict, change the IP scheme either for your
home network or for the network with the client VPN computer. For information about changing these settings,
see Change the LAN TCP/IP Settings on page ?.
To open a VPN tunnel:
1. Launch the OpenVPN application with administrator privileges.
Figure 8.The OpenVPN icon displays in the Windows taskbar.
TIP:You can create a shortcut to the VPN program, then use the shortcut to access the settings and
select the run as administrator check box. Then every time you use this shortcut, OpenVPN
automatically runs with administrator privileges.
2. Right-click the OpenVPN icon.
3. Select Connect.
