UH VPN Setup - Windows 11 ARM
ITS does not support the ARM version of Windows 11. The following instructions are provided as a courtesy, and we cannot guarantee that they will work in every Windows 11 ARM situation.
- Download the Community Edition of OpenVPN 2.5.7 (Windows ARM64 MSI installer) from https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/
- Run the installer. You will get an error message saying to copy the config file to specific directories. Click OK.
- Go to the ^ on the bottom right of the screen, right click on the OpenVPN icon, and click Exit.
- Obtain a OpenVPN config file from ITS:
https://net.its.hawaii.edu/vpndocs/openvpn/secured/index.php
Enter a password that you want to use for the config file (do not enter your UH username's password)
Click Generate Config - Under the "Android" section, click on DOWNLOAD PROFILE
The file name will be sevpn_its_hawaii_edu-######.ovpn - Copy this config file into the directory that the original dialog box indicated:
c:\Users\[username]\OpenVPN\config - Launch the OpenVPN app that’s on the desktop (or Programs menu). Nothing will happen. Go to the ^ on the bottom right, and right click on OpenVPN.
- Select Connect.
- It will ask for your username and password. This is your UH username and password. You can choose to save the password.
- It will ask for the config password (this is the one you created in step 4). You can choose to save this password.
- You should now be connected to the UH VPN.
- To disconnect from the UH VPN, click on the ^ on the bottom right, right click on OpenVPN, and select Disconnect.
