+===== optional: NAT for vpn clients =====
+if you want your vpn clients to be able to use this server as their internet gateway as well continue here:
+<code>
+apt-get install iptables
+echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
+iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
+</code>
+put the last two lines in your /etc/rc.local if you want this service to be available after the next reboot again
+==== configure your client ====
+copy the files ca.crt, client.crt and client.key from the server in ///usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/// to your client. also copy the example config file for the client from ///usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/sample-config-files/client.conf/// to the same directory on your client as the certificates.
+adjust the name of your server in the client config file and again the nouser, nogroup to help with security.
