When have a Static key, you can start configuring OpenVPN Server and Client instances. For this example we will be creating a TUN (Tunnel) type connection that uses the UDP protocol for data transfer and Static key for Authentication. We will be using two RUT routers: '''RUT1''' ('''Server'''; LAN IP: '''192.168.1.1'''; WAN (Public static) IP: '''193.186.223.42''') and '''RUT2''' ('''Client'''; LAN IP: '''192.168.2.1'''); the two routers will be connected via OpenVPN; the Server's Virtual IP address will be '''10.0.0.1'''; the Client's - 10.0.0.2:

To sum up, just make sure the Server and the Clients use the same parameters (same authentication, same port, same protocol, etc.). Other important aspects are the '''Local tunnel endpoint IP''' and the '''Remote tunnel endpoint IP'''. Take note these two particular parameter values are reversed for the individual Client and the Server configurations since these values represent opposite things depending on the instance's perspective.
From the Client side, make sure to enter the correct '''Remote host/IP address''' (193.186.223.42 in this case). This is the Server's Public IP address, not the virtual IP address.
