What it is
Vilno VPN is a Windows desktop VPN client: it downloads the public VPN Gate server catalog, validates profiles and controls OpenVPN Community through the Windows Interactive Service. An active license is required to connect: the key is entered in Settings and stored in Windows Credential Manager.
The app shows one best server per country, probing TCP reachability of candidates, and can automatically move to the next available server if the selected one does not respond. After a dropped connection, automatic reconnect runs up to three cycles. Kill Switch and blocking DNS outside the VPN are experimental options, disabled by default.

Pick a server
The VPN Gate catalog shows one best server per country; choose a specific country or keep automatic selection.
