* You will need to enable Windows Updates else .NET Framework 4 installation will fail
2) Download and install TAP-Windows drivers from here:
https://build.openvpn.net/downloads/releases/latest/
For example:
3) Check that TAP-Windows has been successfully installed:
You should see two new network adapters “TAP-Windows Adapter V9”.

5) Open the OpenVPN GUI (right-click -> Run as Administrator)
6) Right-click on the icon in the tray and select “Import File…”
7) Select the .ovpn file and click on “Connect”
