OpenVPN is a great low cost solution for remote connection. I’m new to Windows 7, so I add a bit of trouble to configure it out. Here’s a little how-to:

  • Download the last development solution from openvpn.net
  • Right-click on the downloaded file and set it to run in administrator mode.
  • Once installed, do same thing for the openvpn-gui.exe in OpenVPN bin folder.
  • Be sure to install the TAP-Win32 device.

Troubles incounters with old versions:

  • Unable to use TAP-Win32 device
  • Connexion error due to openvpn-gui.exe (must be run an administrator)
  • –remote-cert-tls command not found (old version of openvpn)
