The server.key file was fine. Your question about the configuration file
turned out to be the right question though. I was using a configuration
file that one of the sites gave and it turned out to be bad. Things are
working now, I think. I'll have to do some testing tomorrow when I'm on
a different network to see how things go. Then I'll have to try to
figure out how to force traffic through the tunnel.

Thanks for the help.
