It should also allow use of OpenVPN-GUI without having full admin rights - it is enough to have whatever OpenVPN/OpenVPN-GUI needs to function properly. A much more detailed description is available beyond the above link. The test installers are here: <http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/temp/openvpn-install-2.3.9-I901-i686.exe> <http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/temp/openvpn-install-2.3.9-I901-x86_64.exe> Let me know if the installers work correctly - or don't. I'd like to merge this functionality into OpenVPN 2.3.10 which is due early next week. If that deadline passes, I will release new Windows installers with this patch a bit later. -- Samuli Seppänen Community Manager OpenVPN Technologies, Inc irc freenode net: mattock ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
