Hi, I can’t find an installer in the openvpn-install download listed above. All I see inside is a folder with OpenVPN_Config_Files
Thanks for reaching out. We would suggest you to download purevpn app for windows and activate kill switch this will kill your internet activity when your connection is lost.
If you set up the VPN this way through Windows, how do you know when the connection drops? And can you still have the internet close when the VPN disconnects?
We are Glad you found it.
Let us know if we can be of any assistance!
Nice I’m connected, thenn what….?….
Once you are connected then just start browsing as normal, you are completely anonymous.
Hope this answers your query!

Thanks for your reply. After upgrading to Windows 10 the app would show up in Task Manager but the window wouldn’t open. I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling and that worked.
When you you guys have an app that is compatible with Windows 10.
Hi Tom,
I am sorry for the inconvenience. I would suggest you to kindly disable IPv6 and change network DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Try this and let us know if it works out!
OpenVPN is too slow and I already tried adding these lined to the config file:
sndbuf 0
rcvbuf 0
push “sndbuf 393216”
push “rcvbuf 393216”
But it’s still too slow.
