You should have received a '''.ZIP''' file from Netsville containing various certificate files. We now need to install those in OpenVPN's '''config''' subdirectory.

# Double-click on the '''.ZIP''' file and '''BROWSE''' to this location: <b><code>C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config</code></b>. Choose '''EXTRACT'''.

# You will need '''Administrator''' permissions to places files here. So the following dialog will pop-up. Check '''Do this for all current items''' then hit '''CONTINUE'''
#: [[File:Openvpn permconfig.png|525px]]
# The files should be sitting in the '''config''' directory like this.

On the toolbar you should have an OpenVPN icon ('''a computer monitor with little lock icon'''). You might have to hit the little '''up arrow' to view more icons if you don't see it.
# Once you locate the OpenVPN icon, '''RIGHT-CLICK''' and choose '''CONNECT''' from the context menu.
#: [[File:Openvpn connect.png|525px]]
# Once connected, look at the OpenVPN icon again and the little monitor should be filled in '''<font color="green">GREEN</font>'''
