Hello!
I have used Open VPN for many years (THANK YOU FOR A GREAT APPLICATION :-) ).
In the past month i havn't been useing VPN service (last time i used was april-may 2015 with windows 8).
Now, i have uppgraded to Win 10, and trying to use a VPN service, but i am not able to connect to any servers. When i try to connect to a Server OpenVPN says "Current state: Connecting" and after about 15 seconds i got the message: "Connecting to (servername) has failed".
I have tried to reinstall the software, uppdate all my config files to the newest from the service website, been trying to connect without my Anti-virus software off (I am useing Kaspersky IE 2016) but nothing helps.. I tryed to use OpenVPN on my Phone (iOS) through my Wifi and it worked fine, so the problem has to be within my computer and not my network as routher etc.
The logs is telling me nothing, see below.
Do anyone have any idea what is wrong with my computer?
I am useing Windows 10 Home Edition 64-bit x64 based processor.
Thanks alot.

It's some sort of Windows 10 route issue.
To fix mine, i connected to a Windows VPN conneciton, then disconnected and re-connected to OpenVPN connection.
Something in this step caused my route to change and OpenVPN worked happily after this.

- The only difference to my route tables in the IPv4 routes was the line starting with 115.187.247.129 (6th entry down) was missing after the Windows VPN connection was established and it has remained missing since, regardless of re-boots and OpenVPN connections since.
I have zero idea why this works, it has on 2 Win10 machines that I was able to get the TAP driver installed on.
I have another 8 computers that won't even install the TAP driver, but that is another, unrelated issue.
All I can suggest is that you try removing that line. Your IP will be different to mine, this route is to my Gateway Router and the IP is issued by my ISP. The 172.20.10.3 address is the IP address my iPhone gives me. Regardless, remove this and see what happens.
