SurfBouncer hotspot security
 

 

Windows Vista Setup
 

On Windows Vista, you will need to run the OpenVPN with administrator privileges, so that it can add routes to the routing table that are pulled from the Surf Bouncer server. You can do this by right-clicking on the OpenVPN GUI icon, and selecting "Run as administrator".

In some cases Vista is configured in such a way where this command is ignored. In this case follow the directions below to allow administrator function.

Vista has a feature called UAC. The UAC prevents programs running under administrator accounts form having administrator access. This feature in some cases causes OpenVPN, to not run properly. If this occurs disable UAC for your user account as follows:

1) Open Control Panel.
2) Under User Account and Family settings click on the "Add or remove user account".
3) Click on your user account.
4) Click on the "Go to the main User Account page" link.
5) Under "Make changes to your user account" click on the "Change security settings" link.
6) Under "Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure" click to unselect the "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer". Click on the Ok button.
7) You will be prompted to reboot your computer. Do so when ready.

After rebooting you may have to reinstall the software for the drivers to register properly.
