but i can't see tap0 interface and cannot ping any address at remote location.

I tried this config file at Windows OpenVPN client and all works fine.

Could anyone help me?

Thx in advance.

Hi.

After you see the message "Initialization Sequence Completed", open a new terminal (do not close the current one or hit Ctrl+c as you will interrupt the connection), and type ifconfig.
What is the output?

Hi,

I have solved problem by myself.

Solution was adding to /etc/network/interfaces

auto tap0
iface tap0 inet dhcp

and everytime when i try to connect, after

Mon Feb 15 16:28:44 2010 Initialization Sequence Completed

I need to reload networking using

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

(Note, that on Kubuntu I don't need to restart networking, but starting openvpn from console causes double crash of KDE)
