[Resolved] add 2nd tap interface

IanWorthington

Hi.

I have a connection from my windows 7/64 openvpn client to a remote system, this works fine.

I now need to add a second connection to a second system. This seems to need me run Utilities > Add tap interface, which I don't have.

I've found an addtap command which seems to create an additional entry

C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\bin>openvpn --show-adapters
Available TAP-WIN32 adapters [name, GUID]:
'Local Area Connection 2' {60FD0EF3-9C84-47E2-84B7-8EE67263613B}
'Local Area Connection 4' {FA1EDB51-CC7B-4BFD-826A-C5A13F2037C7}

but doesn't create a new device under Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections

How do I correctly add a second tap interface please?

Ah, I was looking under Start > OpenVpn. I do indeed have that under Tap-Windows, thanks.

I don't see those entries under Network Connections though:

Looks like I had two versions of the openvpn suite. Tidying up sorted out those problems, thanks for your help.
