I'll write one and post it today.  Coincidentally, I'm doing a re- 
install of OpenVPN on a  new server.  FWIW, OpenVPN is not all that  
difficult.  Most of the instructions out there just make it all seem  
so.  Where it *can* get complicated, though, is when you're pushing a  
bunch of different routes across the VPN connection.

You'll be able to view my OpenVPN instructions at: https://www.secure- 
computing.net/wiki/index.php?title=OpenVPN_Server (ignore wrapping,  
should all be one line).  Note, as of my sending this, the document  
doesn't exist.  It should, at least in part, within the next hour or so.

HTH
