@Milkinis @XPerceniol and those who never used OpenVPN under Windows XP!

OpenVPN is one of different VPN protocols. The OpenVPN 2.5.4 executable is a VPN client programme to connect to special VPN servers. There are many VPN service providers. Only a few offer servers free of charge, most of them offer servers which have to be paid for. The user has to download special OpenVPN configuration files from these VPN service providers which have to be loaded by an OpenVPN client programme such as OpenVPN 2.5.4. These config files can additionally be edited to match the user's needs if you are familiar with the OpenVPN protocol and the used syntax which in turn depends on the installed OpenVPN version. And here is a link to many different documents about OpenVPN: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn starescreen.gif
And (actually) just for testing purposes, here is a service called VPNBook which offers free VPN servers: https://www.vpnbook.com/freevpn 
In addition, here is a short guide how to setup OpenVPN to use VPNBook under Windows XP: https://www.vpnbook.com/howto/setup-openvpn-on-windowsxp

Thanks for pointing to IP Hider Pro! I have had this programme installed in my system for years and know it very well. However, I haven't used it for a long time as I have configured the VPN connections of my VPN services natively via L2TP and PPTP.

:w00t: AstroSkipper, I give up. There's simply nothing you don't already know! :D

Why do you want to give up? :dubbio: Pointing to those programmes is very appreciated by me and always welcome here. :thumbup Any alternatives targeting Windows XP are worth to list in this thread. Even if this strange guy AstroSkipper already knows them. :D

You're welcome. :) However, I am not the creator of this build. I only gave you a download link to the already compiled installer. But I am glad that it works for you and you could connect to a FastestVPN server. This special version OpenVPN 2.5.4 for Windows XP supports some stronger ciphers which is very important to establish VPN connections in these days. spanachee.gif

Thanks again for listing this tool! I have installed VPNCheck Pro in my Windows XP partition since 2017. The currently installed version is VPNCheck Pro 1.5.6.0 although there is already a more recent version 1.6.0.0. Thus, I have updated today. Thanks again, @Saxon!

Wow this does work and I got a Canada IP, but then I had two icons on the bottom for the networking (one for my normal local area and the other for the vpn) so I couldn't uninstall it (The VPN network icon wouldn't delete) , and because I don't know what I'm doing - I used Acronis True Image to revert to my desktop to an older backup; but it (your VPN) did work ... sorry I forgot to take screen shots.

PS: Actually my desktop needed a refresh anyway after too much of this and that and rest of the story.
