→Updated Client Certificates
== Windows VPN Client ==
We provide a customized, simple to use, client for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7and 8. (Windows 2000 workaround: see bottom of page)
* The latest version of HDA Connect 3 can be downloaded from: [http://dl.amahi.org/HDAConnect3.exe HDAConnect3 installer].
* Note: If you have installed a previous version, you will want to exit the service from the tray icon (right click).* On windows XP simply run it. On Vista, run it as Administrator (this is important). In Windows 7, it should ask for administrator automatically. The defaults should work for everyone.* To install in Windows 8/10 run it as Administrator. "right click" on the file HDAconnect.exe -> Run as a administrator. (tested on Win 8 64bits)* Once install is complete, you will need to follow the [[VPNWindows#Updated_Client_Certificates|Updated Client Certificates]] guidance or you will not be able to connect to your HDA.<br />[[Image:Runasadmin.png]]* 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.<br />[[Image:Amahi-icon.png]]
* Any time you want to connect, simply double click in the icon. A Menu like this will come up<br />[[Image:Authfirst.png]]

* Windows 2000: HDAConnect3 looks for 'route.exe' in the 'C:\windows\system32' folder. This folder doesn't exist on Windows 2000, where the systemfolder is called 'WINNT'. As a result, the install works, but the connection will not work. As a workaround, create the folder 'C:\windows\system32' and copy 'route.exe' from the 'C:\WINNT\system32' folder into it. after this HDAconnect3 should work on Windows 2000. DISCLAIMER: This hasn't been tested thoroughly, it might or might not work for your particular setup.
this will be executed BEFORE the OpenVPN tunnel is closed.
== Old Versions Updated Client Certificates ==There are updated client certificates required for HDAConnect. Go to the [[OpenVPN Client Certificates]] to download them. * Copy new certificates to ''C:\Program Files (x86)\HDAConnect\config'' (overwrite if prompted for ''ca.crt'')* Update ''HomeHDA.ovpn'' to use the new certificate names:** Change line 9 from ''homehda.crt'' to ''Amahi-Client-OpenVPN.crt''** Change line 10 from ''homehda.key'' to ''Amahi-Client-OpenVPN.key''
You should be able to connect to the HDA remotely now with HDAConnect. This is a temporary work around until we can update the HDAConnect3 installer.
== Old Versions ==
* Version 2 of HDA Connect: [http://dl.amahi.org/HDAConnect2.exe HDAConnect2 installer].
