The way you set up the VPN has nothing to do with Wine, I guess. I, for instance, use hamachi as the 'VPN'. So this questions isn't wine related and, even though I have never set up openvpn in my life, here's your "Best Friend": http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+set+up+openvpn&btnG=Pesquisa+do+Google&meta=&aq=f&oq= What this thing does is help Red Alert 3 find the other PC and actually connect to it, due to differences in the way Linux and Windows do things. As far as Wine is concerned, that's just another "interface".
