uconn34 wroteHi, I have windows 10, when double click openvpn GUI, it says "there already exists a config file named "clientnew,ovpn'. You cannot have multiple config files with the same name even if they reside in different folders".
How do I fix this?
When I right click on openvpn in taskbar, I see 2 configs. How do I remove one of them?
For windows, visit the directory where the config files are installed, and then remove them.
On some Windows boxes, it may be here:
[url=file://c:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/OpenVPN/config/]file://c:/Program Files (x86)/OpenVPN/config/[/url] for 32-bit installs
or here:
[url=file://c:/Program%20Files/OpenVPN/config/]file://c:/Program Files/OpenVPN/config/[/url] a common place for 64-bit installs
You may need administrative access to add or remove files from these directories.
if you installed OpenVPN elsewhere, then look for the "config" directory that is contained within its install directory and see if your config files are there.
If you plan to replace one config with another, an "easier" method?
Right-click on the new config, "open with" and choose notepad, "control-a" to select all of the text in the doc, press "control-c" to copy it to a buffer, close the new config.
Visit the "systray" and right click, locate the config you are to replace, and navigate to that config's pop-up menu, and find "edit config" and see the old config open in notepad. In the old config, "control-a" to select all, "control-v" to pasted your new config over the old config, then save.
