openvpn windows client setup question

alexs_yb

Hi

I am looking to install openvpn as a service on my work pc so that it makes a connection back to the work network all the time even before the user logins in.

I believe this is possible.
I would like to know if it possible to run a script before connection ... to test weather I am already on the work network !

My work around would be to have a VPN server at the office and one at the data center to stop lots of traffic going to the dc and then back again.

But wondering how other people handle that !

Thanks

why would you need an openvpn service on a work pc to make a connection back to the work network?

openvpn 2.2.2 comes with an OpenVPN service which can be configured to run at system startup; config files for this service are in

c:\program files\openvpn\config
c:\program files (x86)\openvpn\config  ## 64bit

IIRC the openvpn service simply executes all .ovpn files from this directory, so be careful when putting multiple files in that dir.
