Windows VPN Client

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


  • Download the HDAConnect2 installer.
  • Windows 7' users download instead the the beta of the 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.
     
  • 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.
     
  • Any time you want to connect, simply double click in the icon. A Menu like this will come up
     
  • In it, input
    • The nickname of the HDA you want to connect to (as in <nickname>.yourhda.com). Note that it's only the nickname, not all of XXXX.yourhda.com. You can find it in the Amahi HDA control panel.
    • The username you want to login as in that HDA, and
    • The password of that user in that HDA
  • Your computer will now connect to your hda.
     
  • After that, your icon in the Windows task bar will look like this:
     

Remember, the next time you log in it will save your username and username.yourhda.com username, and all you have to do is enter your password.
