feat: Major directory reorganization and cleanup
Reorganized project structure for better maintainability and reduced disk usage by 95.9% (11 GB -> 451 MB). Directory Reorganization (85% reduction in root files): - Created docs/ with subdirectories (deployment, testing, database, etc.) - Created infrastructure/vpn-configs/ for VPN scripts - Moved 90+ files from root to organized locations - Archived obsolete documentation (context system, offline mode, zombie debugging) - Moved all test files to tests/ directory - Root directory: 119 files -> 18 files Disk Cleanup (10.55 GB recovered): - Deleted Rust build artifacts: 9.6 GB (target/ directories) - Deleted Python virtual environments: 161 MB (venv/ directories) - Deleted Python cache: 50 KB (__pycache__/) New Structure: - docs/ - All documentation organized by category - docs/archives/ - Obsolete but preserved documentation - infrastructure/ - VPN configs and SSH setup - tests/ - All test files consolidated - logs/ - Ready for future logs Benefits: - Cleaner root directory (18 vs 119 files) - Logical organization of documentation - 95.9% disk space reduction - Faster navigation and discovery - Better portability (build artifacts excluded) Build artifacts can be regenerated: - Rust: cargo build --release (5-15 min per project) - Python: pip install -r requirements.txt (2-3 min) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

|
||||
|
||||
Files Created:
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
1. PST-NW-VPN-Windows.ovpn (Modified config for Windows)
|
||||
2. PST-NW-VPN-auth.txt (Credentials file)
|
||||
|
||||
INSTALLATION STEPS:
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
Step 1: Install OpenVPN GUI (if not already installed)
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
1. Download OpenVPN GUI from: https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/
|
||||
2. Install using default settings
|
||||
3. Install as Administrator to enable system service mode
|
||||
|
||||
Step 2: Copy Configuration Files to OpenVPN Config Directory
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
You need to copy both files to the OpenVPN config directory:
|
||||
|
||||
OPTION A - For System-Wide Service (Pre-Login):
|
||||
Copy both files to: C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config\
|
||||
|
||||
Commands (Run as Administrator in PowerShell):
|
||||
|
||||
Copy-Item "D:\ClaudeTools\PST-NW-VPN-Windows.ovpn" -Destination "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config\"
|
||||
Copy-Item "D:\ClaudeTools\PST-NW-VPN-auth.txt" -Destination "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config\"
|
||||
|
||||
OPTION B - For User-Level Only (Not Pre-Login):
|
||||
Copy both files to: C:\Users\YourUsername\OpenVPN\config\
|
||||
|
||||
Step 3: Verify File Permissions (IMPORTANT for Security)
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
The credentials file should be protected:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Right-click PST-NW-VPN-auth.txt
|
||||
2. Properties > Security tab
|
||||
3. Click "Advanced"
|
||||
4. Remove "Users" group (leave only SYSTEM and Administrators)
|
||||
5. Apply changes
|
||||
|
||||
Step 4: Configure OpenVPN Interactive Service (for Pre-Login)
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
1. Press Win+R, type: services.msc
|
||||
2. Find "OpenVPNServiceInteractive" or "OpenVPN Interactive Service"
|
||||
3. Right-click > Properties
|
||||
4. Set "Startup type" to: Automatic
|
||||
5. Click "Start" to start the service now
|
||||
6. Click "OK"
|
||||
|
||||
Step 5: Connect to VPN
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
OPTION A - Using OpenVPN GUI (User Interface):
|
||||
1. Right-click OpenVPN GUI icon in system tray
|
||||
2. Select "PST-NW-VPN-Windows" > Connect
|
||||
3. Connection should auto-authenticate with saved credentials
|
||||
|
||||
OPTION B - Using Command Line (for testing):
|
||||
Run as Administrator:
|
||||
|
||||
cd "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin"
|
||||
openvpn-gui --connect PST-NW-VPN-Windows.ovpn
|
||||
|
||||
Step 6: Configure Auto-Connect on Startup (Optional)
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
To automatically connect when Windows starts:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Right-click OpenVPN GUI icon in system tray
|
||||
2. Settings > Advanced
|
||||
3. Check "Launch on Windows startup"
|
||||
4. Check "Silent connection (always)"
|
||||
5. In the main window, right-click the connection
|
||||
6. Select "Start on Boot"
|
||||
|
||||
Alternative: Using Windows Task Scheduler for Pre-Login Auto-Connect
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
1. Open Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc)
|
||||
2. Create Task (not Basic Task)
|
||||
3. General tab:
|
||||
- Name: "PST VPN Auto-Connect"
|
||||
- Select "Run whether user is logged on or not"
|
||||
- Check "Run with highest privileges"
|
||||
4. Triggers tab:
|
||||
- New > At startup
|
||||
5. Actions tab:
|
||||
- Program: C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn.exe
|
||||
- Arguments: --config "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config\PST-NW-VPN-Windows.ovpn"
|
||||
- Start in: C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin
|
||||
6. Conditions tab:
|
||||
- Uncheck "Start the task only if the computer is on AC power"
|
||||
7. Click OK and enter administrator credentials
|
||||
|
||||
VERIFICATION:
|
||||
=============
|
||||
1. Check connection status in OpenVPN GUI
|
||||
2. Visit https://whatismyipaddress.com/ to verify your IP changed
|
||||
3. Expected IP: 64.139.88.249 (the VPN server)
|
||||
|
||||
TROUBLESHOOTING:
|
||||
================
|
||||
Connection fails:
|
||||
- Check Windows Firewall allows OpenVPN
|
||||
- Verify credentials in PST-NW-VPN-auth.txt are correct
|
||||
- Check logs: C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\log\
|
||||
|
||||
Service won't start:
|
||||
- Run as Administrator
|
||||
- Check Event Viewer for OpenVPN errors
|
||||
- Verify TAP adapter is installed (should be installed with OpenVPN)
|
||||
|
||||
Credential issues:
|
||||
- Ensure auth file has exactly 2 lines: username on line 1, password on line 2
|
||||
- No extra spaces or blank lines
|
||||
- File must be in same directory as .ovpn file
|
||||
|
||||
KEY CHANGES MADE FROM ORIGINAL CONFIG:
|
||||
=======================================
|
||||
1. Removed Linux-specific lines:
|
||||
- user nobody
|
||||
- group nogroup
|
||||
(These cause errors on Windows)
|
||||
|
||||
2. Added credentials file reference:
|
||||
- auth-user-pass PST-NW-VPN-auth.txt
|
||||
(Enables auto-login)
|
||||
|
||||
3. Renamed config file to indicate Windows compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
SECURITY NOTES:
|
||||
===============
|
||||
- The PST-NW-VPN-auth.txt file contains your password in plain text
|
||||
- Ensure file permissions restrict access to Administrators only
|
||||
- Do not share this file or commit to version control
|
||||
- Consider using Windows Credential Manager for additional security
|
||||
|
||||
