Installing freelan on Windows
This tutorial will guide you step by step you with the installation of Freelan on your Windows computer.
As of now, freelan runs as a Windows Service with absolutely no interaction whatsoever with the user.
We believe the main goal of a VPN is to provide transparent connectivity with remote hosts, not to clutter the graphical interface of its users.
Nevertheless, freelan will soon provide a graphical interface for those who like one. This graphical interface will greatly ease the configuration process and even provide a minimalist chatting system. Its development has not started yet but will shortly and should not take long.
Anyway, enough talking, let's install freelan !
First download the appropriate version of freelan from googlecode. Whether you require the x86 or the x64 version depends on your system.
If you don't know which version to choose, right click on then select Properties. On the displayed windows, look for the entry labeled System type :
- If you see: 32-bits operating system, choose the
x86
version. - If instead you see: 64-bits operating system, go for the
x64
version.
Never install the x86
version on a 64-bits system ! While the freelan binary could still run, the virtual network interface driver would not work and you would then have a broken installation of freelan.
