Windows VPN Client

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


  • HDA Connect 3, the latest as of August 2009 including support for Windows 7 download 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.
