Yes! For Windows!

We have a new and updated VPN client for windows for the zero configuration VPN that comes with every Amahi home server. This release came courtesy of our long-term contributor and friend Tim (aka tcheng).

Amahi VPN Client for Windows

This new version has a few new features:

  • Logo updates for the orange Amahi logo
  • Client was enhanced to make it clear the user’s HDA nickname is what’s required
  • Client now remembers the nickname and the user name for even easier use

As usual, Tim came through with a flawless release that worked out of the box and went straight without modifications to become the official release.

We have been extremely please with the performance and the reliability of the OpenVPN server that Amahi deploys. It has always been one of the most useful tools in the Amahi Home Server.

Ours is a simplified and customized version of the Windows VPN client that OpenVPN provides, tailored for the simplicity we’re accustomed to in Amahi.

    If you want to access the openvpn server from multiple clients using this release, how do you do that? Currently accessing from multiple users seems to drop all but one.

    Hi! Check this file: /etc/openvpn/amahi-dup-cn.conf.off and rename it to just /etc/openvpn/amahi.conf (overwriting it). That should work.
