After following this guide and connecting to the VPN Server, I get the following error:

Sat Mar 06 19:43:08 2010 us=127000 NOTE: failed to obtain options consistency info from peer -- this could occur if the remote peer is running a version of OpenVPN before 1.5-beta8 or if there is a network connectivity problem, and will not necessarily prevent OpenVPN from running (0 bytes received from peer, 0 bytes authenticated data channel traffic) -- you can disable the options consistency check with --disable-occ.

I am using Archlinux and installed openvpn with Pacman.

I want to acheive the following: Connect to the VPN Server, being able to route certain made up hosts through it.

Is this possible?

openvpn --version gives me the following

openvpn --version
