OpenVPN Installation on Windows 10
The easiest way to use OpenVPN on Windows 10 is our app - it handles everything automatically. Prefer to configure OpenVPN manually with OpenVPN GUI? This guide covers both.
Recommended: use the Le VPN app
For the best speed and security, use our new Windows app with Wireguard or Stealth Wireguard - it's faster and lighter than OpenVPN, with no configuration files or manual settings. Download the app, sign in with your VPN credentials, pick a server, and click Connect.
Specifically need OpenVPN - an older system, a router, or a network that only allows it? Our legacy Windows app supports OpenVPN natively, or follow the manual setup below.
Manual OpenVPN Setup on Windows 10
Using OpenVPN GUI instead of the Le VPN app? Follow these steps.
1
Install OpenVPN GUI
Download and install the free OpenVPN GUI client. Accept the default options during setup.
2
Add your configuration files
Download your OpenVPN config files and extract them into C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config. Click the OpenVPN GUI icon in the taskbar and choose Import file if it doesn't pick up the folder automatically. Only keep the server locations you plan to use - OpenVPN GUI supports a limited number of loaded configs.
3
Connect
Right-click the OpenVPN icon in the system tray, choose your server, click Connect, and enter your VPN username and password.
Once connected, confirm it worked by checking your IP address - it should show the VPN server's location, not your own. If it still shows your real IP, disconnect and reconnect.
OpenVPN configuration files
Your Le VPN subscription includes ready-made OpenVPN configuration files for every server location, bundled by port so you can pick whichever works best on your network.
Download the ZIP for the port you want: UDP 53, TCP 80, or TCP 443. Each ZIP has one .ovpn file per server for that port (e.g. Le-VPN-Argentina-53.ovpn). If one port is blocked on your network, just download a different port's ZIP.
Quick recap
This guide covers setting up OpenVPN on Windows 10 with Le VPN. The easiest route is the Le VPN Windows app (with faster Wireguard or Stealth Wireguard), while the manual method uses the free OpenVPN GUI client with configuration files.
- Platform and protocol: OpenVPN on Windows 10, via either the Le VPN app or OpenVPN GUI
- Manual method: install OpenVPN GUI, add .ovpn config files (Import file if needed), then connect
- Config files come bundled by port (UDP 53, TCP 80, TCP 443) - switch ports if one is blocked
- Sign in with your Le VPN username and password; verify by checking your IP address
- One subscription covers up to 10 devices; Wireguard and Stealth Wireguard are faster, lighter options
