OpenVPN connection setup for Windows XP
Using OpenVPN protocol
OpenVPN is a free and open source virtual private network protocol, aimed towards advanced users. It offers strong encryption as well as many advanced options, but requires installation of it's own win32-client and fairly hard to configure. If you aren't familiar with networking and crypto, we suggest you to use PPTP or IPSec.
This is why we offer a preconfigured OpenVPN package where everything is included.
Here is the quick notes on connecting to Ivacy using this preconfigured package:
- Download this executable and install it.
- Start the OpenVPN GUI via Start → Programs → OpenVPN.
- Double-click on OpenVPN icon in your system tray.
- Enter your Ivacy login and password and press OK.
- If everything went fine, you will be connected to Ivacy.
If you prefer to setup your OpenVPN connection manually, here is all the required configuration files:
