Getting Started

To get openvpn working, you have to create a .ovpn file and ssl-keys and place it on ./data/config. A HowTo for this you can find on openvn.net

Installation

Download and start OpenVPNPortable_x.x.x.paf.exe. It doesn't install anything on your system. It just downloads and extracts the needed files to the directory of your choice.

To avoid downloading files during the "unzip process", you have to do this before you start the OpenVPNPortable_x.x.x.paf.exe:

1. Download the binary package and the current.txt from here
2. Place all the files in one single directory
3. Start the OpenVPNPortable_x.x.x.paf.exe in the console and add /BINPACKURL=. as parameter.

Update

Just start OpenVPNPortable_x.x.x.paf.exe again and point it to the directory you already have OpenVPN Portable installed. It checks your version with the one on sourceforge.net and updates if needed.

Usage

All you need to do is double click OpenVPNPortable.exe to start.

If you want to connect on program startup, disable the splash or some settings else, edit OpenVPNPortable.ini to change the behaviour of OpenVPN Portable.
