About TGB files

The .TGB file extension serves two distinct, incompatible purposes, causing significant confusion for users trying to open one. Primarily (over 70% of cases), it is a proprietary VPN Configuration file generated by TheGreenBow VPN Client, a software stack frequently whitelabeled by enterprise vendors like Sophos and Zyxel. These files contain encrypted IPsec policies, gateway definitions, and pre-shared keys. The major catch is that .TGB files are not human-readable text files like OVPN or standard CONF files; they are often encrypted binaries locked to specific software versions. You cannot simply open them in a text editor to view the settings. If you are not managing a corporate network, your file might alternatively be a legacy Targa Bitmap image (from Truevision), a raster format that modern operating systems and web browsers no longer support natively. For VPN files, the only 'conversion' is importing them into the correct client software. For Targa images, you must convert them to PNG or JPG for web use or TIFF for archiving.

Convert.Guru analyzes your TGB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted GB, HAT, SVB and VEH files.
