The recommended steps for configuring the OpenVPN client to be started automatically when the
operating system is restarted are as follows:
1. Create a symbolic link in the /etc/rc3.d directory to the /etc/init.d/openvpn
file, by executing the following command:
2. Create a symbolic link in the / etc/rc1.d directory to the /etc/init.d/openvpn file
by executing the following command:
Note that the /etc/init.d/openvpn script will start an instance of OpenVPN for every .conf
file that it finds in the /etc/openvpn directory. Before starting OpenVPN the first time, you
should inspect the /etc/openvpn directory to ensure that there are no unexpected .conf files.
If the OpenVPN client is only being used for RGVI, the only .conf file in the directory should be
rgviClient.conf
After completing these configuration steps, you will be able to start the OpenVPN client by
executing the following command:
/etc/init.d/openvpn start
Similarly, you can stop the OpenVPN service by executing the following command:
/etc/init.d/openvpn stop
The chkconfig utility, if available on your Linux system, can simplify the process of configuring
and managing Linux services. Information describing this utility can be found at the following

Microsoft Windows
A pre-built installer for Microsoft Windows is available on the Downloads page of the official
OpenVPN web site (http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html). According to
the information on the OpenVPN web site, Windows 2000 and all later versions are currently
supported. Note that if you are using Windows Vista, or a 64-bit Windows variant, you will need to
use the OpenVPN 2.1 or later client.
To install the OpenVPN client, simply execute the downloaded installer, accepting all default
settings. On most Windows installations, the OpenVPN software will be installed in the following
directory:
C:\Program Files\OpenVPN
However, please note that on 64 Bit Windows systems, the OpenVPN software may be installed in
the following directory:
C:\Program Files(x86)\OpenVPN
The next step is to copy sample files from the rgvi directory on the Ranger Gateway install CD to
the C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config directory. The specific files to be copied, and the
associated configuration instructions depend on whether you prefer to start the OpenVPN client
manually or intend to run the OpenVPN client as a Windows service, as described in the following
sections.
