Hi,
I'm a Windows XP user, and I'm doing some VPN testing at the moment. Most of the VPNs I use provide ovpn files, but one only offers a .conf file. I am able to connect to the VPN using openvpn via the command-line, but the conf file does not show up in the list of VPNs to connect to when running the OpenVPN GUI. I noticed that there are registry values related to this: HKLM > Software > OpenVPN > config_ext and HKLM > Software > OpenVPN-GUI > config_ext, both set to ovpn. Is it possible to add multiple values to these keys, such as in the format "ovpn; conf"?
Thank you in advance,
choicefresh

Re: .ovpn/.conf

Re: .ovpn/.conf
nope, this is not possible ( I just checked the sources) - you'll need to modify the GUI for this.
Also, note that this GUI is not maintained anymore, a new GUI is in the works for OpenVPN 2.3
