Can anyone point me in the right direction for setting up OpenVPN? Is
there a step-by-step guide anywhere?

I have tried following the guides on the OpenVPN website, but just wind
up confusing myself more. I am wanting to run a simple VPN from my
home to my office with ethernet bridging. I am getting hung up trying
to generate the security certificates, and reference these in the
config files that OpenVPN requires. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

The average person is not going to know how to use OpenVPN.

GoToMyPC makes it easy for the average person.

GotoMyPC is definitely NOT what I am looking for. I need full network
access, not just remote computer access. Besides, if that is all I was
looking for, I would use a VNC client, not GotoMyPC.

I consider myself above the 'average' user when it comes to computer
skills. I am simply having trouble getting clear instructions I need
to generate the security certificates OpenVPN requires. This is
something new to me, and most instructions I find are aimed at Linux
users.

Why dont't you try first with a shared key and see if that works. Then
try to do it with the certificates.
I did it following the openvpn site guides and works great. My server
is a Slackware 10 box and the client I use is a Win XP SP2 via modem.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!!
