Does computer need to be on all times?

Hi,

I have a friend who'll let me connect to him via VPN so I can use his internet.

My questions is: Does his computer need to be on at all times for it to work?

He said he'd be okay with it as long as he doesn't have to keep his computer on all the time...

it depends,

if the openvpn server service runs on his pc then yes his pc must be on..

if the openvpn server runs on his router then no his pc hasnt got to be on all the time..
