OpenVPN Support Forum

Since a week Win10 disabled older TAP devices.
So I was forced to install the latest version 2.5.0.
But there is only "interactive" service present, no more "OpenVPNserv" process which I could set to start automatically on system boot.
Tried to uninstall + reinstall, etc. But no change, on 1 service is present from 3. ("Legacy service" is also missing!)

I've searched this website more than an hour long. Red all kinds of topics.
Zero info.

• - Nothing at "Overview of changes since OpenVPN 2.4" https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/
  - Neither at "OpenVPN as a system service on Windows" https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/user-gui ... n-windows/

The 5 minute "install" job became a whole-day nightmare, it's 22:00PM now and I still don't have any solution.
Why is the new .msi installer not installing the services it used to? Please HELP!

... before anybody is trying to suggest I should use the GUI:
NO, I ALWAYS disable installing the GUI. There are many reasons why to disable user-interaction, and also it is necessary to see the login screen remotely.

An auto-starting service is mandatory.

Uninstall/Reinstall -> Select "Customise" - The services are still there just not installed by default.

Thanks for the quick answer!
I've just tested and you are RIGHT!
I still don't know how I've missed that tiny red cross under Gui.

But "Legacy Service" is still missing!

(Sometimes I still need those too. Have ca 50 old VPN groups with old keys.)

Turns out, you do not need the Legacy Service but you do need to configure openvpnserv2.exe correctly.

The auto-start configs go into \Program Files\Openvpn\config-auto
