UPGRADING FROM 2.3-ALPHA1 AND EARLIER
|
|
|
|
OpenVPN Windows installer went through major changes in
|
|
2.3-alpha2. 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.
|

BUILDING OPENVPN FOR WINDOWS
|
|
|
|
Official OpenVPN Windows releases are cross-compiled on Linux using the
|
|
openvpn-build buildsystem:
|
|
|
|
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/BuildingUsingGenericBuildsystem
|
|
|
|
First setup the build environment as shown in the above article. Then fetch the
|
|
openvpn-build repository:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-build.git
|
|
|
|
Review the build configuration:
|
|
|
|
openvpn-build/generic/build.vars
|
|
openvpn-build/windows-nsis/build-complete.vars
|
|
|
|
Build (unsigned):
|
|
|
|
cd openvpn-build/windows-nsis
|
|
./build-complete
|
|
|
|
Build (signed):
|
|
|
|
cd openvpn-build/windows-nsis
|
|
./build-complete --sign --sign-pkcs12=<pkcs12-file>\
|
|
--sign-pkcs12-pass=<pkcs12-file-password> \
|
|
--sign-timestamp="<timestamp-url>"
