Re: Windows 11 - connecting to management interface failed
I'm hitting this too, and TinCanTech's link actually helped me quite a bit.
OpenVPN client: Community Edition, specifically OpenVPN-2.5.3-I601-arm64.msi
Client OS: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.160] (current Insider Preview Dev; yes, ARM64)
OpenVPN server: free tier of vpnbook.com, US1 region
I have confirmed this same config and OpenVPN version works on x64 and ARM64 Windows 10.
I don't have access to the server config, but I don't think that actually matters here since the log file shows a problem very early on.
Here's the client configuration I'm using:
When I use this to connect, I get a modal dialog with the text in the name of this thread and this in the log it links to, just like the OP:

If your system isn't ARM64 and you're not on a Windows Insider Program version of Windows, then this likely doesn't apply to you. :/

I have moved this up to Testing Branch because this is testing in action.
And updated the subject, for what it is worth.
