To avoid any unexpected behavior, it is strongly -suggested to upgrade as follows. - -First backup configuration files and certificates from your -current installation; by default they're in - - C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config (32-bit Windows) - C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\config (64-bit Windows) - -After this, stop the openvpn-gui or the openvpn service -wrapper, if either of them is running and uninstall OpenVPN. -Finally, remove the OpenVPN install directory entirely (e.g. -using Windows Explorer as administrator). - -Finally, install the new version of OpenVPN and copy over -your configuration files and certificates, which now go to - - C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config - -provided you did not install the 32-bit version on 64-bit -Windows. - -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. |
