It seems OpenVPN changed or removed the file location for storage of the profiles. I've searched through the docs, changelog, and a client PC for the folder location but cannot find it for the life if me! Where are profiles being stored now?

It seems that profiles are being stored in the following location:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\OpenVPN Technologies\OpenVPN Client\etc\profile
Though you cannot simply drop a profile into here and expect it to pop up in the client anymore.
Counterintuitively, one does not include "Roaming" in the path of the AppData variable.
%AppData%\OpenVPN Connect\profiles
The "AppData" directory variables in Windows are: %AppData%
and %LocalAppData%
.
New OpenVPN stores files in:
[disk]:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\OpenVPN Connect\profiles
where [disk]
is your system disk (in most cases C
) and USERNAME
is your username.
