Deploying the OpenVPN client with connection profile (.ovpn)

Since I didn’t find a documentation on how to deploy OpenVPN plus a connection profile, here’s how it worked for me.

Rename your ovpn file to bundled.ovpn

Place it in the same folder as the openvpn-connect-x.y.z.msi

Provide a script that starts the setup with /qn switch and runs a task that kills the application (it is launched by the setup)

The simple way:

openvpn-connect-3.4.0.3121_signed.msi /qn

timeout 5 > 0
taskkill /F /IM openvpnconnect.exe
