WINDOWS

It is of course always better to install OpenVPN on an open source system such as Linux but in some circumstances, you may need to install it on Microsoft Windows...

The Installation is extremely easy: just download the .exe file, execute it and click on the "next" buttons with the default settings.
There is no prerequisite to install OpenVPN on Windows.
