# Introduction
4
5
This page lists various projects that are related to OpenVPN in one way or another. Due to large number of inactive/obsolete projects they are listed separately from currently active projects. A project is considered inactive if there has been no development activity/releases in ~12 months. Please add new projects and move old ones to "Inactive" category as necessary or this list soon becomes obsolete.

# Windows client GUI
8
9
Probably the most used add-on to OpenVPN is the *Windows client GUI*. The [http://openvpn.se/ old client GUI] is effectively unmaintained and all new OpenVPN releases (2.3+) include the [new GUI](https://sourceforge.net/projects/openvpn-gui/) that is more advanced and uses the [http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/79-management-interface.html OpenVPN management interface] for controlling the OpenVPN daemon and should thus be more reliable.
10
11
OpenVPN Technologies Inc also provide a client which is available [http://openvpn.net/index.php?option=com_content&id=357 here].

# Windows System Service
14
15
There is a supplementary Windows System/NT Service available for OpenVPN that has proper support for Sleep, Standby and Resume events and comes with a small control panel/GUI. Written in VB.NET and released under a MIT license, you can reuse it's core DLL from within your own .NET projects. Find it on [http://openvpnwinsvc.codeplex.com/ Codeplex]. Please use the Codeplex issue tracker to report any bugs.
