Make sure that the deployment is successful before going to the [Next Step : Configure VPN Clients](../docs/clients.md).

During that period, you can prepare your VPN client software by visiting ["Next Step: Configuring VPN Clients"](../docs/clients-xauth.md).

You need to note down that key file if you want to later access the VPN server via SSH.
