      Ok I have gone to the client export and tried several installers and although they all install and I get an icon on my Dell Win 11 desktop, clicking on it does nothing? Tried these selections and the same happens each time. I installed on Android and it works great there so I know the VPN is working fine.2023-10-15 13_33_03-pfSense.home.arpa - OpenVPN_ Client Export Utility — Mozilla Firefox.jpg

        The "current Windows installer 64 bit" should work for you.
        To connect, right-click on the OpenVPN icon, hover over your connection name and select connect.

          @viragomann Ok I was trying to double click the main icon on the desktop but I see in the bottom right corner of the screen you can connect from there. Just weird that you would not use the main icon on the desktop seems kinda dumb IMO

            I noticed the same thing on W10. With Linux, the VPN becomes just another item in the network manager.

            I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

              The dropdown in taskbar is nice if you have multiple VPN's for different sites.
