* Additional testing for the connection may be required depending on the server's configuration and the overall intent of your OpenVPN connection. For instance, if you were supposed get access to server's private network or other client's private network, you can open the Windows "Command Prompt" and try pinging private IP addresses of the device's in the networks in question.

To check your public IP address, visit '''[http://www.whatsmyip.org/ this website]'''.
