Hi, Expanding on this answer a bit. You will need to use a recent version of OpenVPN-GUI to make use of the interactive service. One option is to use the Git master snapshots (openvpn-install-master-*) which Gert mentioned: <http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/snapshots> If you're building and packaging OpenVPN yourself, you should build OpenVPN-GUI from Git sources ("master" branch"), or use the OpenVPN-GUI version 11 tarball: <http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/releases/openvpn-gui-11.tar.gz> Version 11/master includes features such as writing the registry keys to HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. What this means that a normal user can create the required registry keys him/herself. If want to generate the OpenVPN-GUI tarball from Git sources on *NIX, you need a bit of trickery: $ autoreconf -vi $ ./configure --enable-distonly $ make dist-gzip -- Samuli Seppänen Community Manager OpenVPN Technologies, Inc irc freenode net: mattock ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
