@alex-000:
With OpenVPN there's no password. Instead you'll have to get a set of certificate files from your OpenVPN server administrator person. In my case that's currently myself, so that was easy enough.
After installing the certifcate files in /etc/openvpn you'll have to put a configuration file there as well. If you have an openvpn system admin guy for your server then he/she should be able to help with that as well.
If you're used to set a password for your VPN connection then maybe your VPN server isn't OpenVPN at all? Could be MS PPTP or something else.

Well, yes. There's somebody else here on the forum looking into this (there's a thread or two about it). The basic problem is that there is a component missing in the original Nokia kernel which prevents PPTP from working with just a simple application installation.

Hi!
I installed OpenVPN 2.1~rc20-3maemo3 and OpenVPN Applet 0.5.3-1 on my N900. After importing some config-files and the dependent certificate I pressed the test-button. A white window appeared... which remained empty.
Curious about that I went to X Terminal:
I think something went wrong. If I look at the list of installed apps in the program manager I see an OpenVPN-app which takes 880 KB. But the packet in the program catalogue takes about 1.5 MB...

I found the solution which works for me!
Simply remove all # comments lines from .ovpn or .conf file and everything works fine.
Here is mine conf file:
cat /etc/openvpn/MyVpn1.conf
Bye!

If someone needs it, here it is the openvpn version 2.2.1 builded for the N900 with the same parameters of the previous version.
(it is sufficient to replace the binary)
