An issue I'm facing with is getting user to install themself OpenVPN themself on their Windows machines. Problem #1 is that in the config file I use a custom name for the TAP bridge connection instead on the default (?) "Local area connection X".
Would be awesome when using the windows installer that connection would be automatically renamed to something fixe such as "OpenVPN TAP" or wathever else so that users dont have to rename it...
Default name Win32 TAP connection

Re: Default name Win32 TAP connection
you want to bridge on the client side? that's odd...
I'm not sure if this is possible, BTW: openvpn uses the program DEVCON.EXE (perhaps renamed to TAPINSTALL.EXE) to install the driver. Might very well be that the OS chooses the default name for the adapter; you could then change it aftewards using either DEVCON.EXE or perhaps using a NETSH.EXE command.
