Hi there,
New to the forum, so please forgive me if I do not phrase the question correctly on the first go.
OpenVPN was auto-installed on my VPS. I installed the client on two Win7/x64 machines, and copied the config files that had been created for the install. On one machine, OpenVPN GUI works perfectly. On the second machine, the connection window just hangs in the "Current state: connecting" state, then eventually reports that "connecting to client has failed".
For the record, I am not trying to connect from two clients at once. When I try to connect from the machine that fails, the other machine is off.
Just once, that connected normally, but I was not able to replicate the conditions.
I tried turning off Windows Firewall and Avast. Wondering what else may be conflicting. For instance I don't know how to look for conflicting ports.
The config files should work, because they work on the other machine, and they worked once on the second machine.
Here is the client log:
