Hi Javier,

i had a look at the documentation on the website, and it seems a little out of 
date with the current implementation.
it would be helpful if it could be updated.
i am trying to setup a vpn at the moment and i am also confused on which steps 
to take.


regards,


Nicolas

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you are configuring a client and a server 
in both B and C.

If that's the case:

You only need to configure  one server in B, and one client in C.

Note that you won't need to generate any certificate or CA in C. You just need 
to use the stuff generated by B.

I reckon you are connecting B and C twice.
