OpenVPN GUI connection issue to BTGuard.

Hello,

First of all, I am not sure exactly where to post this. So if I posted in the wrong area, I apologize.

I am new to the forum and have been trying to use OPENVPN for the last month since I started using BTGuard.

I am on Windows 8.1 64bit. I installed the x64 version of the OPENVPN gui (the one with the new TAP fix) https://wiki.btguard.com/index.php/OpenVPN_Windows_Vista/7/8 I also installed the BTGuard config files as well.

My problem is when I load the gui, then click on the Canada server (the one I subscribe to) and select connect, the white OPENVPN window opens up, but no script in the window runs. It just seems to hang. After about 10-15 seconds it then says failed to connect. But the pop up screen to enter username and password never populates (and no, it's not behind the white screen that pops up with the code/script that is supposed to run when running OPENVPN GUI. Nor is it minimized.

So what I have to do is sit and hit connect, wait, it fails, hit connect again, wait, it fails, etc. Eventually at some point (sometimes after doing this 15x) that same white window that used to pop up and was blank run's some script/code and then the pop up window populates and I can enter my username and password and then login no problem.

I can't figure out that why each time I click on connect on the OPENVPN gui, the username and password screen doesn't pop up each time and I have to do it so many times until it randomly, finally populates?

I get the following message in the "view log" area: Thu Oct 03 09:54:53 2013 OpenVPN 2.3.2 x86_64-w64-mingw32 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [PKCS11] [eurephia] [IPv6] built on Aug 22 2013
Thu Oct 03 09:54:53 2013 ERROR: could not not read Management password from stdin
Thu Oct 03 09:54:53 2013 Exiting due to fatal error

I have also installed the registry to disable IPV6 and rebooted and the error message above is what I get with IPV6 enabled and disabled.

Not sure what else to do. I am new to all this.

Thank you for your time and help,
Whiteice

I'm seeing something similar.

For me it happens when I attempt to specify the username and password in a separate file using:

auth-user-pass login.txt

and then having just these lines in the login.txt file:

username
password

The behaviour is to show a blank log window. Worse - even if I remove the reference to the login.cfg file it does the same thing - I have to use a new config file to reset it and then enter the username and password manually.
