2.9.4 Configure your applications
Now that’s the part you’ll like most: you don’t have to! No need to configure a proxy,
no need for socksifiers. Just make sure your applications are not using any proxy and
that should be it.

Note however that since your PC is not connectable from the Internet through the
OpenVPN tunnel, applications who rely on this won’t work. If the manufacturer’s web
page says something about ports that have to be opened inbound in your firewall, it
likely won’t work.

It is possible to combine OpenVPN tunnelling with server port forwards, however.

2.9.5 Troubleshooting
2.9.5.1 The OpenVPN tunnel is not coming up properly
Have a look at the message log, it may tell you why. If it doesn’t, create a dump file
and mail it to us (see chapter 4.2 on page 51) – or check it out yourself.
and mail it to us (see chapter 4.2 on page 51) – or check it out yourself.
Be sure you are using a server that supports it!
Check if there is still another OpenVPN process running when the Your Freedom
connection is shut down. Hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, sort the tasks by name, and look for
“openvpn”. Terminate it before you restart the Your Freedom connection. This can
happen if the Your Freedom client is terminated abnormally before it has a chance of
shutting down OpenVPN.

2.9.5.2 The OpenVPN tunnel opens, but then the Your Freedom connection
fails
The tunnel routes somehow cut off your connection to the Your Freedom server.
Please generate a dump file for us; the Your Freedom client should be clever enough
to avoid this but seemingly isn’t.

2.9.5.3 What are these 169.254.xxx.yyy addresses?
That’s a class B network reserved for ad-hoc networking on a broadcast medium like
Ethernet. Every station just rolls a dice for an IP address and does some checking
whether it’s already in use. If not, it uses it.

No-one uses this network for anything, only Windows does in the absence of a
DHCP server or a static configuration. The network is not routed on the Internet and
no-one uses it privately, that’s why we chose it. It’s very unlikely that it causes any
addressing conflict anywhere.

The other end of your OpenVPN tunnel is always 169.254.0.1; if you want to check
what packet delay is added by Your Freedom, just ping this IP address!

Your PC will get an odd address from a /30 subnet within this range and it will route
everything to the even counterpart address in this subnet.
