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. |
