Configuring OpenVPN version 2 in Windows

Agree to install additional drivers:
Next, copy the file ####.ovpn to the program's directory. In our case it is C:\ProgramFiles\OpenVPN\conf:
Start OpenVPN and on the taskbar in the properties, click Connect and enter the username and password from your personal account - https://fornex.com/my/vpn/:
The result of a successful connection:
To prevent problems with starting and running the application, it is recommended to run it as an administrator. In the shortcut properties, select "Run as administrator".
Saving password in the openvpn. client
In order not to enter authorization data manually every time you connect, create a txt file in the same directory where ####.ovpn is located, for example, auth.txt, and add to it two lines: first login, second password. Example
user_100
password123
Then in the configuration file ####.ovpn add a line:
auth-user-pass auth.txt
Important: The username and password will be stored in unencrypted form, so we recommend that you check your computer for malware and make sure no unauthorized persons have access to it before setting up automatic authorization. It is advisable to edit the fornex.ovpn* file using special editors, for example, Notepad++, AkelPad, PSPad, etc.
In some cases your provider may restrict access to Internet resources, then you need to use public DNS!
Change the DNS servers in your network connection settings to something like this:
1.1.1.1
8.8.8.8
