Connection Failed

[randyman]

I setup a new laptop for one of my drivers to connect to my Windows Server 2008 R2 and VMWare. It has worked perfectly for 4 or 5 months. Now when I try to connect using Remote Desktop it fails. I have setup Openvpn as a service and even though I log into 2008 server and download the user windows installer, install it (after uninstall) I can not connect. I know it is something simple and it is probably caused by windows. I am using windows 10 on every machine that is used to connect to the server. Essentially nothing has changed except being able to connect.

I can usually fix it by uninstalling and re-installing but it isn't helping this time. If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,
Randyman

Thank you TinCanTech. It actually turns out that the Default.rdp saved file must have been corrupt. I deleted it and clicked on Remote Desktop Connection, re-entered my credentials and everything works properly now.

Hope this might help someone else.

Thanks again.

Sorry, I inadvertently posted this answer in the wrong post and can't figure out how to delete it.

Hi. My name is Fernando Pernes and i install pivpn on raspberry pi 3. It install correctly and i have tuunelblick on mac book pro with sierra 10.12.3
I put client vpn correctly and he said that :The apparent public IP address did not change after connecting homepi. It continues to be connected to xx.xxx.xx.xxx.
This may mean that the VPN is not configured correctly, and the log file is:
