4. Serial Port, Host, Device and User Configuration 4.9.3 Set Up Windows OpenVPN Client and Server Windows does not come standard with any OpenVPN server or client. This section outlines the installation and configuration of a Windows OpenVPN client or a Windows OpenVPN server and setting up a VPN connection to a console server. Console servers with firmware version 3.5.2 and later will generate Windows client configurations automatically from the GUI for Pre-shared Secret (Static Key File) configurations. Alternately, OpenVPN GUI for Windows software (which includes the standard OpenVPN package, plus a Windows GUI) can be downloaded from http://openvpn.se/download.html. • Once installed on the Windows machine, an OpenVPN icon will have been created in the Notification Area located in the right side of the taskbar. Right click on this icon to start (and stop) VPN connections, edit configurations and view logs. When the OpenVPN software is running, the C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config folder will be scanned for ".opvn" files. This folder will be rechecked for new configuration files whenever the OpenVPN GUI icon is right clicked. Once OpenVPN is installed, a configuration file will need to be created: • Using a text editor, create an xxxx.ovpn file and save in C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config. For example, C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config\client.ovpn. An example of an OpenVPN Windows client configuration file is shown below: # description: B098_client client proto udp verb 3 dev tun remote 192.168.250.152 port 1194 ca c:\\openvpnkeys\\ca.crt cert c:\\openvpnkeys\\client.crt key c:\\openvpnkeys\\client.key nobind persist-key persist-tun comp-lzo 65
