    33== Windows
    44A kernel module has also been developed for Windows, namely ''ovpn-dco-win''.

    56It is a device driver implemented in kernelspace that substitutes all previous drivers used by OpenVPN (i.e. tap-windows6, wintun, etc..). Differently from the other drivers, ovpn-dco-win uses the Windows Kernel API to also implement crypto operations, thus allowing the driver to process data packets entirely in kernelspace, similarly to ovpn-dco for Linux.

    68The main limitation of ovpn-dco-win is that it only supports client/p2p mode, while server mode is not available. This decision was made due to the fact that there is less and less demand for running OpenVPN server on Windows.
