OpenVPN on Vista 7 64 bit which really works

Posted By: Sorin Mustaca February 24, 2011

I use OpenVPN to be able to connect to the company’s network when I am away.
If you ever worked with this tool, you know that it is not so easy to install it on a 64 bit Windows and it is even harder to do this on Windows 7.
So, it seems normal that in the end this was addressed and implemented properly.

The first version which works out of the box is “OpenVPN 2.2-beta5 — released on 2010.12.03”.
It can be downloaded from here: http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html

WARNING: this is a beta version which I use and I know it works.

If you don’t feel comfortable using a beta product, try to use the official release from here.
I haven’t tested this version, so i don’t know if it works.
