I have set up an OpenVPN server on my Debian Wheezy machine.
When I try to connect from my Windows 7 client machine, I receive some message
which I am not able to decipher.

I would be very grateful if someone can give me tips necessary for solving my connection problem.
What is the reason that causes my client to fail ? :?

Please note that my router which my Debian machine is connected to has enabled Virtual Server NAT and port
forward 443 to my local eth0 ip address 192.168.1.5 .

This is my OpenGUI message

I have added to the end of dnsmasq.conf file:

There are some added security settings in Windows 7 that makes it difficult to conner with openvpn. What I did was to run the openvpn client as admin.
