What is  openvpnserv.exe

The executable file openvpnsev.exe is associated with the Open VPN program. The Open VPN (Virtual Private Network) software is a client application from HMA Pro VPN. The VPN has the primary function of extending the properties of a private network even on a public network. This will ensure that security settings will still be imposed. In some cases, the VPN will impose a proxy setting. The VPn will provide a different IP address instead of the real IP address. The VPN may even change the location, sometimes even to a different country. When this is implemented, the VPN will bypass any restrictions that are applied to the original IP address. Some users of VPN incorporate this method to bypass their workplace network restrictions, like social network sites and sports sites.
