Visit the Open VPN downloads page by clicking
If you’re unsure what type of system you have then downloaded the 32-bit option.
You can start the download by clicking the name in the middle column, eg; “openvpn-install-2.3.12-I602-i686.exe”.
A window will open requesting where to save the file. It’s good to save it to the desktop making it easy to find but you’re free to save it elsewhere if you prefer.
Once the file has downloaded double click the file on your desktop or the location you saved it.
A prompt will ask “Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device”. Select Yes.
On the Welcome screen select Next.
On the license agreement screen, you can simply press I Agree after reading through the agreement if you wish.
The Choose Components screen should be left as it is and just press Next unless you know what you’re doing.
If you want to alter the installation location you can do so on the next screen. It’s best just to leave it as standard and press Install.
Open VPN will now install all the required files. Once it has finished the installation process is now complete and you can use the software.
