Firstly: understand the difference between tun and tap. You must use the *same* on both ends, tun for routed vpn, tap for bridged. decide whether you want routed or bridged and set up accordingly. Info on openvpn.net on which is bbest, routed is more scalable and there are tricks to hand out a default gateway on a bridged setup. these tricks may or may not work with Windows openvpn client see faq files. I'd set up dev tun on both ends and make sure you can see the other end of your tunnel. Best to make connectivity work before you mess with default routes etc. Is it worth noting here that you are probably violating policy by punching holes through a firewall? be aware in case admin comes down on you.
