OpenVPN GUI stopps working

tk2

I finally configured my OpenVPN Server v5 installed on Windows 7 machine. I have 25 clients which can reach it, ping it and do all the network traffic through the VPN. However, I need my server to be up and running 24/7.

I had to leave it for 2 days (I turned off the automatic logging off in Windows 7), but when I came back, I saw OpenVPN GUI stopped working, was closed, I couldnt even see its icon in menu at the bottom of the Window's Desktop, I needed to run it again (I run it as administrator every time). Since I need it to be started 24/7 its a huge problem for me. Is it Windows related or its OpenVPN's fault?

Yeah I did this:

The Windows installer will set up a Service Wrapper, but leave it turned off by default. To activate it, go to Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services, select the OpenVPN service, right-click on properties, and set the Startup Type to Automatic. This will configure the service for automatic start on the next reboot.

but still - does not work as I want it to (does not launch at all at start, at least clients can not connect - even that I have service running). Only when I manually run OpenVPN GUI clients can successfully connect.

Ok will try it tomorrow (since those are machines @ work). In the meantime, I will ask: if I have to pass a password to launch server's config file, could be this the problem that the service can not automatically launch my files? How to overcome this issue?
