[Openvpn-users] OVPN running as a Windows service with passphrase for private key

Hi,



I'm testing OpenVPN and I'd like to use passphrase protected private key on 

client site (windows). 

I can run the openvpn.exe with all the parameters and then "Enter PEM pass 

phrase:" request appears in Command prompt. But I wannt to avoid the black cmd 

window being on desktop over all the vpn session.



I'd prefare starting the windows service, (cmd window appears)- answered the 

pass phrase-(cmd window disappears), and in the end stopping the service.

I tried to put "askpass" parameter to the service config file but "TLS Error: 

Error reading PEM phrase for private key".





Does anybody know a solution? If you have any other method how to simply start 

such a VPN, please, let me know.



Thanks





Lumir
