Win 8.1 + 2.3.6-I602-x86_64 + tap-windows-9.21.1 - problems

Petki

Hi all,
first things first, I have found this:
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/316
and read it twice. I have newest builds (mentioned 2.3.6-I602-x86_64 and adapter 9.21.1) but it is still acting weird.
In 50% of cases it fails to initialize adapter and everything I just get is this:

Log is also not very usefull, there is just this

Fri Mar 13 10:34:30 2015 OpenVPN 2.3.6 x86_64-w64-mingw32 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [PKCS11] [IPv6] built on Mar  4 2015

Running as administrator did not helped, nor the trick with starting Network and Sharing Center first (NSC is sometimes not even loaded)...
what leads me to possible reason, but not solution -> this is not problem with TAP adapter, but rather with OpenVPN GUI itself. I think this also because when I start it directly by double click on config file, it looks to work everytime (but I am playing with it just today, so maybe it is just false feeling).

So my question -> had anybody else also this issue, or is something wrong just at me?

my client config is pretty simple, as we do not need any specialities...

#script-security 2
#up "sharing-center.bat"

client

dev tap

proto udp

remote XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX YYYY

resolv-retry infinite

nobind

persist-key
persist-tun

ca ca.crt
cert XXX.crt
key XXX.key

ns-cert-type server

comp-lzo

verb 3

Traffic

Make sure you start the correct config file with the GUI and make sure you only run the config file one time !

For further help .. please post server config and full server / client logs at verb 4

Petki

Hi, I am sure I am using correct config (I have currently just one...) and also that I am starting it just once (I do not have OpenVPN installed as service and it does not work event at first start after reboot).

Server config + logs will be here in second, but I must firstly restart PC -> because second strange thing, if I try to run it for first time, I am getting that error from screenshot, but on 2nd and more try it looks simply nothing... no error, no log output, nothing. It is not frozen, GUI is responding normally...

FYI, these "failed" attemps are not at all visible in server log, so i definitely think it is pure client-side issue...

FYI 2 - even after "fail" through OpenVPN GUI, as I said previously, it is not possible to "redial", but still, if I start it through double-click on .ovpn, it works...

Traffic

On your client:
Try renaming the Windows TAP Adapter (In your network connections tab) to something like openvpn.
It will probably be called "Local area connection #2" at present.

Then add to your client config file:

dev-node openvpn
dev-type tap

See --dev-node and --dev-type in The Manual v23x

Petki

Hi,
tried, no change... connecting through GUI still not working (the same behavior), connecting through double-click on config working as previously.

Traffic

Petki wroteIn 50% of cases it fails to initialize adapter and everything I just get is this:
Image

50% .. can you make it 100% of times ?

Petki

I probably already did - at least last 20 attempts were unsuccessfull...

Traffic

FYI:

You must also install/uninstall "Run as administrator"
being logged in as admin is not sufficient ...

Petki

No change 🙁

- OpenVPN uninstalled (as administrator)
- the most recent installation file downloaded
- PC restarted
- manually deleted everything remaining in OpenVPN folder
- installed again (as administrator)
- renamed TAP adapter
- still working only through direct start by .ovpn config and not working through GUI...

EDIT - just now I got again one successfull attempt... but after restart, again the same error... and I did not changed anything...

Traffic

As this problem appears to be directly related to the TAP driver can you please
Remove: 2.3.6-I602-x86_64+TAP and try install with 2.3.6-I603-x86_64 (With bundled TAP)
If that also fails please try 2.3.6-I003-x86_64 (with bundled TAP)
Remember to run uninstall/install "Run as Administrator" !
thanks.

Petki

Tried now 603, no change... and if I remeber right, I originally downloaded installation with 003 and only after I found this error I tried 602 according to issiu 316 (https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/316)...
