Setting up an OpenVPN server

VPN (Virtual Private Networks) are lifesavers for people like me. Or they just make you super lazy... either way, that tends to be the same thing.

A virtual private network, lets me connect into a network from anywhere around the world, but appear as if I'm physically there on the network. This means that subnetting and IP addressing rules of you computer will adhere to the remote network you're trying to connect to. This is useful as I can then connect or remotely manage any of the computers on that network without actually needing to be there.

To set up my own private network, I used this instructions as a base guide. Thanks internet, for helping me out of my mess yet again!
