    For a client device with Windows 64-bit system, the VPN client is installed at C:\Programfiles\OpenVPN\config\ by default.
  17. For a client device with Windows, modify the VPN interface name to NETGEAR-VPN:
    1. On your computer, go to the Networks page.
      If you’re using Windows 10, select Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings.
    2. In the local area connection list, find the local area connection with the device name TAP-Windows Adapter.
    3. Select the local area connection and change its name (not its device name) to NETGEAR-VPN.

      If you do not change the VPN interface name, the VPN tunnel connection fails.
