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.
