How to configure for multiple servers

Post by bschooly » Fri Jul 26, 2013 5:21 pm

Running latest openvpn server client on windows 7. I need to know how and where to configure and launch
multiple client setups (one for each vpn).

I see a config file built automatically in C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN Technologies\OpenVPN Client\etc.

Do I place the additional config files there or can they go anywhere? Once created how do I launch the client for that
particular config?

Lastly. We have been using the openvpn gui from http://openvpn.se/. Are their config files compatible with
openvpn.net's files? Can openvpn client be configured for certificate only (no password)?

which version are you planning to use? AS or open source?

always download openvpn from openvpn.net as .se is outdated...

Do NOT use the client you mentioned. Use only the client from the official openvpn site. We include a GUI which supports the new features.
