Cannot telnet to management interface

Post by neuralnet » Thu May 11, 2017 6:09 pm

I have a working OpenVPN setup (Windows 7, client v2.4.2), and I'm trying to access the clients management interface via telnet and am unable. I've added

Code: Select all

management 127.0.0.1 7070
to the .ovpn config file, enabled telnet in windows 7, disabled the firewall for testing, but when connecting I get;

Code: Select all

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
C:\Windows\system32>telnet 127.0.0.1 7070
Connecting To 127.0.0.1...Could not open connection to the host, on port 7070: Connect failed
Any ideas where I'm going wrong ?
