After Startup
After initially launching the OpenVPN-GUI program, the GUI icon will be show in the tray, as
shown in the image below. Note that this icon can be hidden when marked "inactive" by the OS,
so check the expanding arrows to the side of the system tray if it's started but not shown.
Context Menu
Right-clicking on the icon will pull up the context menu. This menu will allow you to connect any
of the config files placed as explained above. Note that you must name these files with the .ovpn
file extension. Windows has a bad habit of hiding "known" file extensions, so be careful not to
name a config file something like "Sample.ovpn.txt" by mistake.
Connecting and disconnecting
After you have created a config file, going into the context menu and selecting the "Connect"
entry will start openvpn on that config file. A status window will open up showing the log output
while the connection attempt is in progress (see screenshot below). After successful connection,
the status window will be hidden, but can be viewed from the context menu if desired.
After connecting, the context menu will allow that VPN to be disconnected; select that option to
terminate the active connection.
When one or more VPN instances are running from the GUI, the tray icon will change color.
