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!!
