should --config be --connect?

[Ingber]

In my C:/Program Files/OpenVPN/doc/openvpn.8.html (and in online openvpn.net docs) I see is states that --config can be used on client conf files, and that it can be left off if only one file is used, which I assume means a .ovpn file, e.g., as prepared on an OpenVPN server.

In my Thinkpad Carbon Windows 10 x64 Pro running OpenVPN 2.3.7 x64 this does not work in a shortcut -> Properties -> Target window.

However, using "--connect", which is NOT at all found in the above-mentioned doc files, does work just fine on the desktop and under the Startup folder:
"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --connect xxxx.ovpn
E.g., using "--config" instead of "--connect" does not work?

Using OpenVPN-GUI.exe is slightly different to using openvpn.exe from command line.

Try this:

Code: Select all

c:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\Openvpn-GUI.exe --help

Thanks for this information.
