IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WINDOWS VISTA/7 USERS
|
|
|
|
Note that on Windows Vista, you will need to run the OpenVPN
|
|
GUI with administrator privileges, so that it can add routes
|
|
to the routing table that are pulled from the OpenVPN server.
|
|
You can do this by right-clicking on the OpenVPN GUI
|
|
desktop icon, and selecting "Run as administrator".
|
|
|
|
GENERAL QUICKSTART FOR WINDOWS
|
|
|
|
The OpenVPN Client requires a configuration file
|
|
and key/certificate files. You should obtain
|
|
these and save them to OpenVPN's configuration
|
|
directory, usually C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config.
|
|
|
|
You can run OpenVPN as a Windows system service or by using
|
|
the client GUI. To use the OpenVPN GUI, double click on the
|
|
desktop icon or start menu icon. The OpenVPN GUI is a
|
|
system-tray applet, so an icon for the GUI will appear in
|
|
the lower-right corner of the screen. Right click on the
|
|
system tray icon, and a menu should appear showing the names
|
|
of your OpenVPN configuration files, and giving you the
|
|
option to connect.
