Deployment Process
The deployment process is straightforward. However, please note the following:
⚠️ Windows Caveat — PowerShell Screen
On Windows devices, a black PowerShell window will briefly appear for approximately 5 seconds. This is expected behavior — it is running the profile import silently in the background. No action is required.
The black PowerShell window shown above will appear briefly during the import process and close on its own.
After the Profile is Imported
Once the profile has been successfully imported, you will be prompted with the following screen:
"Do you want to apply the configuration from C:\CWRU-OPenVPN-Win\openvpn-win.ocfg?"
Click OK to apply the configuration.
When Will This Prompt Appear?
This import confirmation screen will appear under the following conditions:
- ✅ OpenVPN is open but not connected — The prompt will appear immediately.
- 🔄 OpenVPN is currently connected — The prompt will appear the next time you start up or when you disconnect.
- ❌ OpenVPN is closed — The prompt will appear the next time you launch OpenVPN.
💡 Note: If you have any issues or do not see the prompt, please contact your IT support team.
