received a .conf file from my employer

rkhyd

hello
i have received a .conf file from my employer. However, since iam on windows machine, i renamed it to .ovpn and imported it into openvpn client. But I am unable to connect to the target server. I also made a ovpn file using this format.

but still iam unable to connect!
Can some body guide me how to use the conf file to connect from my windows machine?

Thanks

In the Windows GUI you can set the extension which it should look for but I never used it.
Just change the extension of the config file to *.ovpn, as you already did.

You probably have a different problem, ask your employer.

ok, i have managed to resolve the issue and connect by switching to the openvpn gui software instead of openvpn client software.
