    65 OpenVPN for Windows can be installed from the self-installing exe file on the [https://community.openvpn.net/downloads.html OpenVPN download page]. Remember that OpenVPN will only run on Windows XP or later. Also note that OpenVPN must be installed and run by a user who has administrative privileges (this restriction is imposed by Windows, not OpenVPN). The restriction can be sidestepped by running OpenVPN in the background as a service, in which case even non-admin users will be able to access the VPN, once it is installed.
