openvpn 2.4 on windows as a service

Hi

So with the new service and GUI, is the recommendation for 2.4 to stop using nssm and go back to the standard service setup ?

There are two new services:
  • The Openvpn interactive service which is only used by the GUI
  • The Openvpn service which is a new version of the Legacy service
You can still use NSSM if you prefer.
