* 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. Or if the server was intended to be used as a proxy, your computer's Public IP address should be the same as the server's.

==Different configurations==
The configuration we discussed in earlier sections is very basic. Some options used in client configurations depend on the server's configuration, some are only specific to the client. If you're using a third party OpenVPN service, the configuration files (and necessary certificates) are almost always provided by that party, so if that is the case we suggest simply using their configuration file.
If you are configuring the server yourself you will also need to create the client config file yourself. You can use the one provided in this guide as a base, but keep in mind that you'll have set the options specific to your own configuration yourself. OpenVPNs supports a lot of different options and can be customized almost endlessly. A complete list of OpenVPN options can be found in the '''[https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Openvpn24ManPage OpenVPN manual]]'''.
