OpenVPN Client and windows 8

[newone88]

Hi,
I'm new to this and thought might ask for help here.
I step an openvpn server on my TP link router and generated the necessary configuration file.
I installed the openvpn client on my windows 8 laptop and my iphone and ipad.
I imported the configuration file to all 3 devices.

On my Iphone and Ipad, I can successfully connect to my VPN and I can browse the local network and I can access the internet as well with no problems so far.

On my windows 8 laptop, I can connect to the VPN fine but I can't reach the local network and I can't access the the internet. I'm logged in as an administrator and I ran the VPN GUI client as an administrator as well. I feel that there is a step i'm not doing and it seems as all the routes are not being added and that is why I can't reach the internal network of the VPN and can't access the internet from the VPN.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I'm logged in as an administrator and I ran the VPN GUI client as an administrator as well

You are using openvpn 2.4.3 so you don't need to run with administrator privileges any more.

Sun Jul 16 08:26:31 2017 ROUTE: route addition failed using CreateIpForwardEntry: The object already exists. [status=5010 if_index=57]

This actually means there is already an entry in the routing table for the route you are trying to add .. my guess would be 192.168.0.0/24 .. if you posted your log at --verb 4 we would know.

And your server log at --verb 4 and your server and client config files.

ok, I will post anything to get this workin.
Now sure how to get the --verb 4 logs. Is this a command prompt? sorry, I'm new to this.

Got this working finally after I disabled IPV6 from the adapter.
