Download Windows 10 OpenVPN client PGP signature check

Post by JSebMe » Wed Jan 05, 2022 4:50 pm

Hi,

I'm using OpenVPN client on Windows 10 to connect to my home Network (OpenVPN server on my consumer grade router) since September (2021). I'm used to check SHA checksum of downloaded programs for a fast last step prior to installation. OpenVPN website seems to give a PGP signature or something like it. I don't know how to simply verify the file with it. I need to do it on a Win10 based laptop. Is it possible to check it as it is possible to check SHA checksum without more work and with light convenient tools as "MD5 and SHA Checksum Utility"?

Thank you
