One-Click Connect

[Quartz 19]

What is the best way (if there is a way) to connect to a predefined server by using just one-click?

 

For example, a Windows 8.1 start menu shortcut that once clicked would load up a client and connect to a server.

One way I've found so far is to create a openvpn-gui.exe (location below) shortcut, tick 'Run as administrator' in the shortcut's Compatibility tab and specify the --connect ovpn file that can be created from this website's client area->config generator and saved in C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config. If you're using a 32-bit system use Program Files (x86).

 

"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --connect Nunki.ovpn

 

Copy the shortcut to your start menu and pin to Start. Job done.

Using a self-written script, I think.

:: openvpn-script-example.cmd
@echo off
C:\Path\to\OpenVPN\openvpn.exe AirVPN_config_file.ovpn
[antidnsleak-script.cmd]
...
...

Something like that. Right click > Pin to start menu and you're done.
