Where can I find OpenVPN file?
I have installed OpenVPN on Windows 7. I go to Start - Run - type in openvpn.exe and click on it. But it is not opening.
I found the file in c:usersuserNameappdatalocaltemp. I opened it in notepad. But I couldn't see anything useful. I am really stuck. Please help me out.
Openvpn.exe is the GUI client, not the server.
The server is called openvpn.conf.
If you run it directly, it will use the system configuration, so your OpenVPN config will be overridden. If you run it with the GUI, it will use the local configuration, so you need to use the .ovpn files you created (if you used the GUI to create them).
How do I import a key into OpenVPN?
Your OpenVPN client should be configured to use a high quality Diffie Hellman Group. If you are using DHCP, you should set the option dhcp-group to your OpenVPN server. The group should be at least 1024 bits. For example, the following will set the group to 1024 bits.
# openvpn --dhcp-group 512 # or 1024 or 2022. If you are using a static IP address, set the option static-ip-route to the IP address of the OpenVPN server. The OpenVPN server should also have a high quality Diffie Hellman Group, with a group size of at least 1024 bits.
# openvpn --dhcp-group 512 --static-ip-route server IP. Note that the OpenVPN server and client must be on the same computer. A corporate VPN gateway may require that the client behind the corporate firewall.
Some devices connect to OpenVPN servers using uPnP. You should configure your client to use a high quality Diffie Hellman Group.
These instructions assume that your gateway is using OpenVPN and that the VPN tunnel is configured to use a high quality Diffie Hellman Group. If your OpenVPN server does not respond to pings, you can try using the "show" command in the OpenVPN client to see if there is an error. To reconnect, use the "relogin" command.
