I would like to create a VPN connection between my remote windows laptop
and linux (debian) home server. i've downloaded and installed openvpn
with apt-get, and configured it correctly (AFAIK). however, the server
won't start
if i run *openvpn <configfile>* there's no output and the process exits
immediately, while there should be something like this
