A few people disconnect + --connect "" doesn't work?

xtrapsp

Hi all

Having a few problems with Openvpn.

The problem is we use Task Scheduler to open up OpenVPN on bootup, we use the action --connect "server.ovpn".

I find that the process is still running in task manager but nothing is showing. I have to end the process and re-open to get the program to work and even then there are a few graphical errors which relate to the program as it doesn't connect straight away. After clicking disconnect a speech bubble appears which won't get removed.

This isn't server sided as I recieve no errors from there.

Here is my log:

Hey Debbie,

Thanks for that. Will try now.

Anything about the interface bugging out? I will try and get a picture, doesn't happen on my machine but does colleagues

Edit:

"When started, the OpenVPN Service Wrapper will scan the \Program Files\OpenVPN\config folder for .ovpn configuration files, starting a separate OpenVPN process on each file."

I have it in Program Files (x86). Here is how it looks at the moment:

debbie wrotePlease explain.

A few of our members have staff have experienced times where OpenVPN has a speech bubble overlaying the buttons and interface. This cannot be solved by minimising or re-opening the program. I have instructed them to end process and re-open.

I myself haven't experienced it. I was just wondering if this is something you have seen

Waiting for it to happen now haha. (Will get back to you).

One problem is that it gets stuck on connecting... but I can connect the server but the openvpn doesn't allow me to move past the progress bar "connecting..."

This is happening for multiple people

Just an update, I still can't find the path in the Services Settings:
