Windown GUI

 

Version:

openvpn-gui-1.0.3

Auto Start

Step0: 測試 CLI 先

* .ovpn files can be found in the 'C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config' folder

"%ProgramFiles%\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --connect xxxxx.ovpn

* Windows 7 and 8, OpenVPN-GUI must be run as administrator in order for the VPN to properly function.
   (Disable the UAC / set the program to always run as administrator)

方法 1:

START -> RUN -> regedit.exe

去以下的 key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

新增 "S" (REG_SZ)

name: OpenVPN
value: "%ProgramFiles%\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --connect home.ovpn

方法 2:

用 StartupCPL2.8

* For Windows Vista and Windows 7 and 8, OpenVPN-GUI must be run as administrator in order for the VPN to properly function.
(avoid these conflicts is to disable the UAC)
(always run as administrator in the properties of the application)

有用 Opts

  • --silent_connection          # 1=Do not show the status dialog while connecting / non-critical warnings at startup
  • --append_string              # 1=Append to log file. 0=Truncate logfile
  • --show_balloon               # 0=Never; 1=At initial connect; 2=At every (連接成功時會 show 自己拿到的 IP)
  • --allow_edit                    # 1=Show "Edit Config" menu (右 click 右下角的 Icon 沒有 "Edit Config")

My Example

Windows shortcut

openvpn-gui.exe --connect xxxxx.ovpn --silent_connection 1 --append_string 0 --show_balloon 0 --allow_edit 0

Show OVPN interface

C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin>openvpn.exe --show-adapters

Available TAP-WIN32 adapters [name, GUID]:
'openvpn' {E8C50CC2-FB3E-4E89-BF66-699BFB7083CE}

Remark

openvpn 係自己改的名

Auto connect on Logon

Run -> taskschd.msc

"Actions" -> "Create Basic Task…"

"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --connect myprofile.ovpn

Setting:

  • "When I log on"
  • "Run with highest privileges"

之後人手 run 一次測試

 

 


儲放 config 的位置

 

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OpenVPN-GUI\configs
     - 由 OpenVPN-GUI 提供
  • %userprofile%\OpenVPN\config
     - 當沒有設定 log 時, 會 log 到 %userprofile%\OpenVPN\log\FILE.log
  • C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config

 

 


Install window NIC driver

 

執行

C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\addtap.bat

# 行一次, 多一張 NIC
# 它們可以在"硬件管理員見到"TAP-Win32 Provider V9

addtap.bat:

rem Add a new TAP virtual ethernet adapter
"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\tapinstall.exe" install "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\driver\OemWin2k.inf" tap0901
pause

Folder 名並不重要, 重要的是 folder 內的設定檔案名 !!

 

 


Set IP on Windows

 

ip-win32 method

在 Windows client 使用 --ifconfig 設定 TAP-Win32 adapter IP 時所用到的 "method"

OVPN 會以 method 去設定 IP

method:

  • dynamic (Default) - By replying to DHCP query messages generated by the kernel.
  • netsh - By Windows command-line "netsh"
  • ipapi - By IP helper API

i.e.

1) 使用了 default 的 dynamic 去設定 IP

ifconfig 192.168.123.200 255.255.255.0

 

2) 當 Server subnet 有 DHCP Server 時, 會出現雙 IP 情況

ip-win32 netsh
ifconfig 192.168.123.200 255.255.255.0

 * 使用 "--ip-win32 netsh" 後就必須使用 "--ifconfig"
 


Set NIC(tap name) on Windows

 

--dev-node node

Explicitly set the device node

# 查看 NIC 的 GUID

openvpn.exe --show-adapters

OVPN' {x-x-x-x-x} tap-windows6

.ovpn Settings

dev-node {x-x-x-x-x}
dev-type tap

 * If OpenVPN cannot figure out whether node is a TUN or TAP device based on the name,
    you should also specify --dev-type tun or --dev-type tap.

Notes

dev-type  tap / tun

  • tun = OSI Layer 3
  • tap = OSI Layer 2

Use this option only if the TUN/TAP device used with --dev does not begin with tun or tap.

 * You must use either tun devices on both ends of the connection or tap devices on both ends.
    (You cannot mix them)

dev tunX | tapX | null

TUN/TAP virtual network device ( X can be omitted for a dynamic device )
