This has been tested on a Windows XP machine, NOT on Vista. If you have a scenario where you can connect to multiple sites via VPN, I would not recommend this as there may be IP address conflicts on the client machine. Here's what you do on the client to make it happen:
IDENTIFY CONFIGURATION FILES AND PROPER LOCATION
References to
sitename are for the name of the site you have distributed VPN client keys for. Substitute your appropriate site name here.
- Use Windows Explorer to drill down to C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config. This directory should contain sitename.conf, sitename.ovpn and subdirectory untangle-vpn.
- The lower-level untangle-vpn directory should contain two .crt files and a .key file
OPEN VPN MODIFICATION
- Go to START -> CONTROL PANEL -> ADMINISTATIVE TOOLS -> SERVICES
- Right click on OPENVPN and select PROPERTIES
- Change STARTUP TYPE to AUTOMATIC
- Click OK
- Close the Services window
- Close the Administrative Tools window
- Close Control Panel
REGISTRY MODIFICATION
- Goto START -> RUN -> REGEDIT
- Drill down to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- Locate the entry for "openvpn-gui"
- The command reference should say:
C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe
Change it to:
C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe --connect sitename.ovpn
...where sitename is customized for your specific site.
When your client machine restarts, the user will automatically be connected via VPN client. They may disconnect and reconnect at will. If they need to use a second VPN connection to another location, it is recommended that they disconnect from the first connection before creating a different connection.
