OpenVPN and autostart in windows 10.

Post by ralphlr » Tue Aug 11, 2015 11:37 am

Hi,

I am a crazy soul who decided to put windows 10 on a new laptop. Surprisingly its been generally ok, however I have an irritating problem with my openvpn client in that it "randomly" fails to work following a start-up. When it fails, I can go into cmd, and do a root print and everything looks normal. Its just that I cant actually make connections over the vpn.

I have gone into services and set the service to start automatically, however when I restart the laptop it only actually allows me to connect about 1 in 3 times. I have a feeling that this is related to the amount of time I wait until attempting to log in.

my config file looks like this

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote ****.****.com 1**4
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert ralph.crt
key ralph.key
tls-auth ta.key 1
comp-lzo
verb 3

and I am using version OpenVPN 2.3.8 x86_64-w64-mingw32 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [PKCS11] [IPv6] built on Aug 4 2015 and the latest TAP that came with it.

If anyone has experienced this and has a solution to make this rock solid I would be extremely grateful

Thanks

Ralph
