Client using cached remote information no longer valid

Post by ga22be » Wed Jun 21, 2017 11:00 pm

Hi

I'm at my wits end trying to figure out how to fix this.

I have recently made port changes in mys OVPN Server setup. I also changed to the appropriate new port number in the local client configuration as well. However, now as soon as I connect I get this in the cmd promt on Windows: "Preserving recently used remote address: [something]<ip>:<old port>.
No matter what I've tried it wont use another port, I tried to flush the system DNS, no dice. So I reinstalled OpenVPN, still using that damn cached port. :evil: Anyone have a hint as to how I can get it into the clients head that I don't want to use the old data?

Thanks,
Ga22be

Too much late night fiddling it seems, I have two addresses in the client config, one commented out an the other used. I mistakenly changed the commented out port number, not the live used one. :roll:
