You will have received certificate and key files from Noojee. The files will normally be contained within a zip file so you will first need to extract the files from the supplied zip file.
The files contained in the zip file will be:
- <xxx>openvpn.cnf
- ca.crt
- <xxx>.crt
- <xxx>.key
Where <xxx> is replaced with the extension no. of the phone the keys are to be used with.
The above files need to be extracted from the zip file into either:
C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\config
or
C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config.
Launch OpenVPN
Note: we no longer support Windows XP and you should not be using it!! Microsoft are no longer issuing security patches which means that anyone can steal all your information on the PC running Windows XP and proably all of the other computers you have in you network.
You must run OpenVPN using an administrator account so:
Right click on the OpenVPN icon and choose "Run as administrator".
OpenVPN will start and run as a tray icon (bottom right hand corner of your screen). Find this icon, right click on it and choose "Connect".
The connection dialog will show diagnostic messages. Once connected, this window will hide itself, and a pop up will inform you that the connection has been made to the VPN.
Note: you must start OpenVPN each day before you start your softphone.
