OpenVPN GUI for Windows
http://openvpn.se/index.html

OpenVPN is a full-featured SSL VPN solution which can accomodate a wide
range of configurations, including remote access, site-to-site VPNs, WiFi
security, and enterprise-scale remote access solutions with load balancing,
failover, and fine-grained access-controls.

OpenVPN is normally run in a console window, which can be a little annoying
to have lying on the taskbar all the time. OpenVPN GUI lets you run OpenVPN
without this console window. Instead you get an icon in the notification
area (the area on the right side of the taskbar) from which you can control
OpenVPN to start/stop your VPN tunnels, view the log, change your password
and other useful things.

OpenVPN GUI is an Open Source project and is licensed under the GPL.

System Requirements:
OpenVPN GUI is written in pure Win32 C code, so it does not require any
run-time librarys to work. It is just a single exe-file (about 100KB).

- OpenVPN 1.5 or higher. (Might work with earlier versions, but this is not
tested)
- OpenVPN 2.0-beta6 or higher to support multiple simultaneous connections.
- OpenVPN 2.0-beta11 or higher to show the "Connected" msg only after
routes have been added to the system.


Known bugs/limitations in the latest release:
- OpenVPN GUI cannot control the individual openvpn processes the service
wrapper has started. It can only bring the service up and down.
