Windows VPN Client

We provide a customized, simple to use, client for Windows XP and Windows Vista.


  • Download the HDAConnect installer.
  • Note: If you have installed a previous version, you will want to exit and uninstall it first.
  • On windows XP simply run it. On Vista, run it as Administrator (this is important). The defaults should work for everyone.
  • Click on "Continue Anyway" warning for the driver, if any.
  • After installation is done. It will display a small icon in the desktop tray. It may also display a network icon with a red mark indicating "A network cable is disconnected." This is the VPN "network adapter" indicating the VPN is down.
