December 7th, 2009 by acevpn Leave a reply »

At Ace VPN, We are always striving hard to provide the best service and improve the user experience. The ability to not save the password is annoying. We have re-compiled openvpn with –enable-password-save option.

Note: Saving password is against the security best practices. Use it with caution.

To save your password

  • Open C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config\acevpn-pass.txt in notepad and enter your username on the 1st line and your password on the 2nd line. Save and exit.
  • Open C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config\acevpn-premium-udp-faster.ovpn or the connection profile you use in notepad and change the line
    auth-user-pass
    to read
    auth-user-pass acevpn-pass.txt

From now when you connect to Ace VPN, it will never ask you to enter your username and the password and no more messing with the config files.

Please check the page Installing Ace VPN on Microsoft Windows for detailed instructions.

UPDATE: Openvpn 2.1.1 with save password released.
