Working OpenVPN 2.0.1 rc3 Plugin, Plugin for OpenVPN 2.0.1 rc3 (beta 1) Options

[MrXP]

I have made a plugin for OpenVPN 2.0.1 rc3 download here and uses a RamDrive to function correctly.

Working Freeware/OpenSource OpenVPN Plugin for BartPE 3.1.4 & XPE 1.0.4 running on XP SP2 (Not tested with Nu2menu) Sorry I dont use Barts Nu2Menu so I dont know how or if it will even work with the GUI app since it runs in the system tray of Explorer or XPE.

This is my Beta version of this plugin and allthough it should work on most bartpe builds I cant promis it will work on yours without making some changes.

Requires the OpenVPN GUI made by Mathias Sundman.
Download Here
You will need to put the gui and libeay32.dll in the plugin\openvpn\files\ folder.

Since this plugin is not localized if your using 2003 as your build source you may need to edit all X:\ feilds in openvpn.inf D:\ or what ever your bootdrive letter is as this plugin is not localized.

Copy all files from your current installation under normal windows (normaly C:\Program Files\OpenVPN) to a folder called FILES in your plugin folder.

One issue I have is this plugin did not work when setting enviroment vars to %SystemDrive% or %RamDrv% so I used a static X:\ for CD drive and B:\ for the Ram Drive.

This plugin creates all the registry entries but does not install the NIC driver until it is installed (icon on xpe desktop). When Installer on desktop is launched it will also create and copy all X:\Programs\OpenVPN\Config\*.* to B:\ and put a VPN GUI in the System Tray.

You should make sure to include your CONFIG folder that contains your .ovpn files so that the GUI will work correctly.

It does install openvpnserv.exe (when installed from XPE desktop) as a system service but does not start it automaticly (Use the GUI)

You list X:\i386\inf\OemWin2k.inf, but it's in X:\Programs\OpenVPN\driver.

Fix the .bat file, or fix the .inf file to copy it?

[MrXP]

When I tried using the driver INF located in the Driver folder it failed when installing the NIC driver. Not sure why??? Plus when pebuilder parses the plugin INF it copies OemWin2k.inf to folder ID 22 wich is \i386\inf

Im working on a much cleaner plugin for this that I will be posting in the next week or so. This is just to give anyone (myself) a basic working plugin.

Can someone explain what is wrong with the MS Built-in client?

Security?

@MrXP

I got inspired from your posting and created a full plugin for OpenVPN. It's available at http://www.smithii.com/files/plugins/openvpn.zip.

I also created an AutoRun plugin for OpenVPN here: http://www.smithii.com/files/plugins/autorun_openvpn.zip.

One trick i used was to add a TAP network connection for each .ovpn file in the config directory.

I hope you find this work helpful, and that I didn't duplicate your efforts.

I havnt even really tried the built in MS client. One of the reason I like this VPN solution is that its very simple yet secure and provides Server and Client side support as well as lets you change the TCP/UDP port that the server listens on as well as go through a HTTP proxy wich has come in handy on many acations for me. Im not 100% but I dont think the Built in MS Client lets you change/do this.

Can I ask you a question, Im new with bartpe, when i try to install the tap device doesn´t do anything, and by doing the command line pronpt, it says that tapinstall failed,
so I tried to install the tap driver by hand doing:
"pathto:tapinstall.exe" install "pathto:oemwin2k.inf" tap0801
and I dont know why it says "failed", I cant install de tap device.

In an xp or win2k installed on the hard disk it works fine installing the driver in this way.

Am I missing something? what I am doing wrong?
May be you can help me.

Thanks in advance.
