4. Serial Port, Host, Device and User Conﬁguration

4.9.3 Set Up Windows OpenVPN Client and Server

Windows does not come standard with any OpenVPN server or client. This section outlines the installation and conﬁguration of

a Windows OpenVPN client or a Windows OpenVPN server and setting up a VPN connection to a console server.

Console servers with ﬁrmware version 3.5.2 and later will generate Windows client conﬁgurations automatically from the GUI

for Pre-shared Secret (Static Key File) conﬁgurations.

Alternately, OpenVPN GUI for Windows software (which includes the standard OpenVPN package, plus a Windows GUI) can be

downloaded from http://openvpn.se/download.html.

• Once installed on the Windows machine, an OpenVPN icon will have been created in the Notiﬁcation Area located in the

right side of the taskbar. Right click on this icon to start (and stop) VPN connections, edit conﬁgurations and view logs.

When the OpenVPN software is running, the C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\conﬁg folder will be scanned for “.opvn” ﬁles. This

folder will be rechecked for new conﬁguration ﬁles whenever the OpenVPN GUI icon is right clicked. Once OpenVPN is installed,

a conﬁguration ﬁle will need to be created:

• Using a text editor, create an xxxx.ovpn ﬁle and save in C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\conﬁg.

For example, C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\conﬁg\client.ovpn.

An example of an OpenVPN Windows client conﬁguration ﬁle is shown below:
