Description

Do you use multiple VPN services and would you like to have a separate VPN adapter for each specific service? Follow the steps below to add a VPN adapter specifically for use with IXON, on Windows.

Add a new TAP adapter and name it IXON.

Make sure that the VPN Client is installed on your computer.
Download the following file and run it as administrator: addtap.bat
- If you are unable to download the file, open Command Prompt as administrator and run the following command. This does the exact same as the .bat file.
```
"C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\bin\tapinstall.exe" install "C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\driver\OemVista.inf" tap0901
```
Open your network adapter overview.
- Simultaneously press the windows key and R to open the Run window and enter "ncpa.cpl".
Rename the newly added TAP-Windows Adapter to IXON.

Configure the IXON VPN Client to only use the TAP adapter that is named IXON.

Open your VPN Client settings and turn on Advanced Mode in the bottom left corner.
Under OpenVPN, at dev-node, enter IXON.
- The configuration is automatically saved. No need to confirm the changes. If you already had an active VPN connection, you'll need to reconnect to use the new adapter.

The next time you connect to an IXrouter, the IXON VPN Client on your computer will use the TAP adapter with the name IXON.

Note that if there is no TAP adapter with the name IXON, you will not be able to connect. You can either repeat the above steps or clear the dev-node setting.
