I recently purchased a single core VDS and followed the steps a few times to connect my windows 10 laptop with no success.
I was using a service that provided me with a shared nfo that I used softether and windows vpn to use on my ps3 console.I updated my openvpn and followed these steps ( viewtopic.php?f=46&t=11034 ) with no success just trying to get openvpn connected just on my laptop. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: issues connecting to server
Are you on Ubuntu by chance?
If so, it may be worth trying 17 or 16 instead of 18. I think they may have redone the networking stack for 18.

Re: issues connecting to server
im using winscp but do not see client.ovpn which i need to setup openvpn. is there a basic way to get it? can i just go into settings and set the proxy to my server ip? if so what is the default port number?
