However, I am still having this issue.
I am running OpenVPN GUI v7 on Windows 8 and Windows 10 and both computers are having the same issue.
I reinstalled, ensuring that I installed as Administrator, Run as Administrator, added my User account to the Network Config Group, all to no resolve.
Here is my config and logs - any help is greatly appreciated!
