Title: Install on Windows
|
|
|
|
With CCVPNGUI (recommended, simple)
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
CCVPNGUI is made for CCrypto VPN and contains everything it needs. Just download and run:
|
|
<https://dl.ccrypto.org/ccvpngui/releases/ccvpngui-1.0.0-1.exe>
|
|
[(sig)](https://dl.ccrypto.org/ccvpngui/releases/ccvpngui-1.0.0-1.exe.asc)
|
|
|
|
The installer will ask if you want to create a desktop icon.
|
|
Once installed, you will only have to right click the icon in the notification
|
|
area and select "Connect".
|
|
A window will open to show you the progression, you can close it at any time and
|
|
the VPN will stay connected.
|
|
|
|
It's open-source and based on [LVPNGUI](https://github.com/PacketImpact/lvpngui/).

With OpenVPN GUI (advanced)
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
1. Download OpenVPN for Windows on
|
|
[OpenVPN.net](http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html)
|
|
(you need the Windows Installer) and install OpenVPN.
|
|
|
|
2. In [your account](/account/config), download the config file (.ovpn) you want to use,
|
|
and copy it to `C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config\`.
|
|
If you downloaded multiple config files as an archive, extract it in that folder.
|
|
|
|
3. Start `OpenVPN GUI` *as Administrator*. You can find it on your desktop or in the start menu.
|
|
Once it's started, you should see it in the system tray. Right click it and select Connect.
|
|
|
|
4. It should now open a OpenVPN log window showing its progress.
|
|
If an error occured, please see the [self-diagnosis](/page/self-diagnosis) page.
|
|
If it doesn't solve your problem or you have another question, contact
|
|
our [support](/tickets/)
|
|
|
|
5. If everything worked, the OpenVPN icon should turn green.
|
|
Your are now connected and can enjoy your secure connection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Save username and password
|
|
You can make OpenVPN remember your username and password, so you don't need
|
|
to type them everytime you want to use the VPN.
|
|
This can be done by creating a text file named "ccrypto_creds.txt" containing
|
|
your username on the first line and your password on the second
|
|
(see example below).
|
|
Move it to `C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config\`, next to the .ovpn file you
|
|
copied there before.
|
|
|
|
It should look like this:
|
|
|
|
JackSparrow
|
|

|
|
|
|
Then, open the .ovpn file with a text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, ...)
|
|
and add this line at the end of the file:
|
|
|
|
auth-user-pass ccrypto_creds.txt
|
|
|
|
Now, if you restart OpenVPN, it should not ask you for your password anymore.
