Hey guys,
I am trying to get OpenVPN working using the OpenVPN-GUI. When I tried to install it there was an error message about the TAP-Driver not being compatibel. So I downloaded the NDIS6-Installer and installed it manually (after reinstalling the Open-VPN-GUi without TAP-Drivers).
In the Network-Connections there now is the "Ethernet 3 - TAP-Windows Adapter V9", but whenever I try to start the server there is an error "There are no TAP-Win32 adapters on this system. You should be able to create a TAP-Win32 adapter by..."
Any ideas how to solve this?
Greetings
Neokil

Try renaming the adapter eg: tun3Neokil wrote:In the Network-Connections there now is the "Ethernet 3 - TAP-Windows Adapter V9"
Then specify that adapter in your config:
Code: Select all
dev-node tap3

Re: TAP-Win32 adapter not found though it is installed
tried it, but it was not the solution. Same message as before (I dont need to restart the server for the name-change to work right?)

You must restart OpenVPN but you do not need to reboot the server.Neokil wrote:I dont need to restart the server for the name-change to work right?
I would recommend you completely uninstall OpenVPN and the TAP Utilities and try again.

I removed OpenVPN and all the components completely and reinstalled the TAP-Drivers first and then the OpenVPN. But the problem stays the same.
