OpenVPN can't connect on Windows 8

[calvinsteel]

I am new vpn user and I have configured an Openvpn server on my computer. I have tried several methods for example disabling of firewall but still not connect. Anyone can help me.

I am using pfsense router.

So what do you mean with 'Openvpn server on my computer'?
Outline your setup, show Config Screenshots, Logs and so on.

@Rico I mean openvpn not configure with windows 8 in my computer. I have read too many guides.

https://www.purevpn.com/what-is-vpn/protocols/l2tp

But still nothing. Can you suggest me the actual issue of router or anything else. Maybe I ignore some major facts.

All wrong.
The sites you mentioned are companies that offer VPN services.
They have a VPN server that you can access with a "client", like your Windows 8 PC.

I advise you to start with https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/vpn/openvpn/openvpn-remote-access-server.html

Then, stop reading, and look at these https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3Cq2kjCWM8odzoIzftS04A/videos - take the 2, 3 VPN "server" videos.

Btw : install this package :

When you finished setup your OpenVPN? server, and added at least one "client" (the visitor), you go to " OpenVPNClient Export Utility" and select :

Take that zip file, bring it to you Windows 8 PC, install and go.
