OpenVPN 32bit is an award-winning and fully-featured SSL VPN solution that can allow everyone from computing novices to large companies to configure the way they are accessing the internet, unlocking powerful services for safer and stealthier browsing experience.

Built from the ground up to support latest encryption methods, this app allows you to connect your PC to OpenVPN servers without the fear that anyone will intercept and spy on your data, from where your data requests will be distributed across the rest of the web in a safe and controlled manner.

This downloads the source code. Please download OpenVPN Connect if you need a working OpenVPN GUI client.
 
By default, the app can distribute your data traffic across many of its servers, making your online location masked and unrecognizable to Internet Service Providers and the rest of the internet in general.

In addition to that, It also comes with the large offering of customization tools that can be used for setting up remote access privileges, site-to-site VPNs, enterprise-scale remote access, adaptive load-balancing, advanced Wi-Fi security, failover services, fine-grained user access control, and much more.
 


The presence of both automated VPN services and advanced tools have made OpenVPN into #1 secure browsing software of choice for both regular users, organizations of all sizes, and many Fortune 500 companies.

Installation and Use

It comes in a small package that will after installation re-configure the way your computer is accessing the internet. The configuration window of this app is actually very lightweight, and it holds only the most basic of tools for setting the type of your VPN setting (config file, system proxy settings or manual configuration) and a dropdown menu for selecting user interface language (with over 15 available translations).

Originally built for use in enterprise environments, the personal tier of OpenVPN retains the highly advanced technologies and lightweight tools. The core security feature of OpenVPN is based upon OSI layer 2 or 3 secure network extension that is utilizing SSL/TLS protocols. It installs deep into the Windows OS, enabling all the user apps to take advantage of the security features, firewall rules, authentication certificates, and more.

In the real world, ordinary non-business users can encounter various roadblocks that can prevent them from taking full advantage of their home internet connection.

This may include ISP data rate throttling, website content region blocking, or even government-imposed firewalls. It allows users to circumvent these issues, offering you stable and secure data stream to their servers, from which you will be re-routed to any major region in the world, and be able to access its “local” content. No matter if you want to simply access region-specific sites and services (such as streaming platforms content offering) or to read censored news outlets, It can allow you to do that in just a few clicks.

Another benefit of an Open VPN is a unified virtual presence. No matter where you physically are, if you are using Open VPN, the rest of the internet will be able to detect you originating from a single region.

What's new in this version:

Security fixes:
- openvpnserv (windows): better scrutinize command line passed in from the control socket to openvpn. This would lead to circumventing admin restrictions on allowed openvpn config directories (but never to "read files the user has no permissions for")
- tracked in Github: OpenVPN/openvpn-private-issues#142)
- dco: make key state desync recoverable
- This was reported as a "with suitable timing, a key-update de-sync between OpenVPN and the kernel could trigger an ASSERT()", and was initially handled as security report. It turned out to be not exploitable, but the state machine was not very robust and so the opportunity was used to improve the code.
- make --x509-username-field work with mbedTLS.
- In very particular setups, together with a CA creating matching certificates, this could lead to unintentionally permitting a certificate that should not have. This is why this was considered a (low-prio) security bug and a CVE ID was assigned

Fixed:
- refuse incoming HARD RESET packets with a sequence ID != 0 (this is basically making an OpenVPN server ignore and log a
- "should never happen" client-side misbehaviour, which could lead to TLS handshake establishment failures in p2p TLS setups)
- correctly calculate packet id size if epoch packet format is in use - this was off by 4, for connections openvpn 2.7+ to openvpn 2.7+, exceeding "mssfix mtu" headroom by those 4 bytes
- correct minimum packet length check for 802.1q tagged packets (Github: #1044).
- This was also reported (twice) as a security bug, as technically OpenVPN with --client-nat would read and write up to 4 bytes "after the end of the packet" - but due to the OpenVPN packet buffer layouts, which are always full-frame-sized this is fully safe and has no adverse consequences.

User-visible Changes:
- if --dev is not specified, default to --dev tun - so for the tun case, this option can now be left out of the openvpn config
- --ping and --keepalive settings are now limited to 24 hours maximum - the primary reason for that is to avoid lots of extra code in the DCO kernel to handle arbitrarily large values without overflowing 32 bit integers. 24h is considered much higher than any reasonable use.
- The TCP_NODELAY socket flag is now "always on". The --tcp-nodelay option is kept, because setting it on a p2mp server also enables pushing of socket-flags TCP_NODELAY to clients, which might not have this code change yet.
- Remove --providers from --help output on mbedTLS builds

Building/Testing improvements:
- no longer use C99 hh scanf() length modifier, as it's not portable across all MinGW variants.
- fix test_tls_crypt test failures on Windows.
- t_client.sh: do not run resolvectl to query DNS settings if systemd is not running (= do not pollute log files with nonsensical errors)
- CMake builds: detect cmocka_version.h via include path, not by linking
- test_tls_crypt: Fix issue with temp file name on big endian systems (encountered trying to build 2.7.5 on Fedora s390x build instances)

Documentation improvements:
- ssl_pkt: Fix doxygen warning about read_control_auth
