[vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1567441743182{margin-top: -20px !important;}”]To connect our Windows PC to the corporate VPN system<\/strong>, we need to download, install and configure the digital certificate of the VPN. This guide shows you how.JTVCYWRyb3RhdGUlMjBiYW5uZXIlM0QlMjIzJTIyJTVE<\/p>\n

Installation of OpenVPN GUI for Microsoft systems<\/h3>\n

[vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1567441743182{margin-top: -20px !important;}”]Connect to the sitr https:\/\/openvpn.net\/community-downloads\/<\/a> and download the correct version for your operating system.
\nFor convenience, we recommend choosing the .exe, ES version: “openvpn-install-2.4.8-I602-Win7.exe”
\nOnce the file is downloaded, run it and follow the steps below:[vc_single_image image=”19637″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]Click Next<\/strong>[vc_single_image image=”19639″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]Click I Agree<\/strong>[vc_single_image image=”19641″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]Click Next<\/strong>[vc_single_image image=”19643″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]Click Install<\/strong>[vc_single_image image=”19645″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]Click Next<\/strong> to end[vc_single_image image=”19647″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]Remove the tick from Show Redme<\/strong> and press Finish<\/strong>[vc_single_image image=”19649″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]To insert the configuration file, there are 3 methods:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Installation for all PC users:<\/strong> This method allows connection via the digital VPN certificate regardless of the user with whom you logged in on the PC.
    \nOpen the path C:Program FilesOpenVPNconfig<\/strong> and copy the contents of the archive inside. Administrator authorization will be required, allow copying for all files in the archive.<\/li>\n
  2. User specific installation:<\/strong> This method allows the connection via the digital VPN certificate to the only user with whom the user logged in on the PC.
    \nOpen the path C:UsersusernameOpenVPNconfig<\/strong> and copy the contents of the archive inside.<\/li>\n
  3. Directly import the “.ovpn” file<\/strong>, generated as a single file (config + cert + keys). This method allows the connection via the digital VPN certificate to the only user with whom the user logged in on the PC.
    \nUsing “import file” of the OpenVPN Client<\/strong> menu we select the certificate file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once the import is complete, start the program, using the following icon that should appear on the desktop, or select it from the programs.[vc_single_image image=”19651″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]In some cases the following error message may appear[vc_single_image image=”19653″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”]Indicating that the program is already running.
