Is OpenVPN GUI free to use?

Yes, OpenVPN GUI is free and open-source software distributed under the GPL license. It is bundled with the official OpenVPN Community Edition client for Windows at no cost.

How do I import an .ovpn file into OpenVPN GUI on Windows?

Place the .ovpn configuration file into the OpenVPN config directory, typically located at C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config\. OpenVPN GUI will detect the profile and display it in the system tray menu for one-click connection.

Does OpenVPN GUI work on macOS?

OpenVPN GUI is primarily a Windows application; on macOS the common alternatives are Tunnelblick or the official cross-platform OpenVPN Connect client. Both support the same .ovpn configuration files used by OpenVPN GUI.

Can OpenVPN GUI manage multiple VPN profiles simultaneously?

OpenVPN GUI supports importing and switching between multiple .ovpn profiles displayed in its system tray menu. Connecting to more than one profile at the same time requires running separate OpenVPN instances, which can cause routing conflicts.
