OpenVPN to the U of T Network?

Thu Nov 18 21:49:41 UTC 2010

Can anyone point me to an idiot's guide to using OpenVPN, especially
connecting to U of T?  I have in the past installed and run the setup
recommended by the University, but as far as I can tell it doesn't *do*
anything except cut me off the network (I can no longer access anything
on the Internet).

Obviously, I am missing some aspect of understanding about the process.

On a related note - my desktop is also a server; if I connect to a VPN,
do I disappear from the public Internet?
