Hello,
I am using OpenVPN 2.3.2 with GUI on Windows 8.1.
Created client and server cert with nopass option.
I changed HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN-GUI\allow_service to 1.
client.ovpn:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote 82.165.xx.xx 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca "c:\\Security\\ca.crt"
cert "c:\\Security\\UltraAuto.crt"
key "c:\\Security\\UltraAuto.key"
remote-cert-tls server
comp-lzo
verb 3
-----
When I start the GUI with admin rights, I can connect to the server and remote desktop works fine.
If I start the service, no logfile entry is created but the GUI icon gets green. Service is running, but remote desktop doesn't connect.
Same issue if I autostart the service with windows start
Any idea what's going wrong?
Best regards.
Alex

No! Not starting both automatically and by the GUI!
1. Starting the service automatically does not create a logfile.
2. Starting the service by GUI (without starting it automatically - service not running) does not create a logfile but the GUI icon gets green.
1 and 2: Service is running but remote desktop not connecting.
Connecting by GUI (no service is running) works, remote desktop connection works.

dir of C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config:

Starting the service from the Windows Services Menu manually does not create a logfile.
No error, service is running but no remote desktop connection.

I don't know why but I had a second OpenVPN version in the 'Programs (86)' folder used by the service!
After deinstallation, deleting folders, registry entries and system restart I installed OpenVPN once again.
Now the service works fine. :lol:
