dusares Hi, I am running OpenVPN 2.3.4-I603 64 Bit on a Windows 8.1 61 Bit and had well working configuration using OpenVPN UI. But I was tired of having to start this manually so I activated the service, which worked fine. Tunnels are established and all is good. But when the machine wakes up from standby, then I see the OpenVPN process running using 100% CPU and quite some disk I/O (~10MB/s). It seems that the tunnels are established, but the machine starts of course to slow down because of this additional load. FYI: That problem didn't exist when I was starting the tunnels with OpenVPN UI. But very rarely one of the tunnels couldn't be established again. I search already the internet about this, but couldn't find anything client related. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Peter

dusares Hi, thank you for the link and sorry for the late response. I used NSSM to fix the problem, so all is good now 🙂
dusares I also created a little HowTo for NSSM: http://www.rfc3092.net/2015/08/openvpn-windows-service-foo/
