Hi,
I have a question.
I have install OpenVPN with GUI on my Win7 machine.
I have put my config and keys/certs in c:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config\ directory.
And the problem occurs, when I have to change configuration.
When I change config file, neither GUI, nor console openvpn remember old version of config file (but when I have opened config using GUI option "Edit config" there was new version of config).
And even when I delete config file, GUI and console application try to establish connection using old version of this file.
So the question is: does openvpn copy somewhere files from config directory?
Thanks for answers in advance.
Tomek

The short answer is: no.
When you select the gui option to edit your configuration, it opens the file (a text file) in Notepad. When you save it, it overwrites the original.

Re: Open VPN GUI config files refresh issue
So I'a dump, or there are problem with windows.
When I deleted configuration file from c:\program files\openvpn\config still coing to this folder and executing:
openvpn.exe --config <the name of deleted configuration file>
try to make a connection using configuration from deleted previously file.
How this can be possible?

Re: Open VPN GUI config files refresh issue
make sure you are not using virtual stores - this can often cause problems on vista/7.
Run a cmd window as Administrator and then 'cd' to the directory where openvpn is installed - what do you see?
