We've been using openvpn for 3 months or so now and it works great. Except for the fact that at home (behind a BTHomeHub3 router) I must restart the service on both my Windows 10 desktop and Windows10 laptop after every reboot as the initial connection never establishes.

My config:

client
dev tap
proto udp
dev-node NETGEAR-VPN
remote xxxxxxxxxxxx 12974
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo
verb 5

Any tips how I can prevent the need to restart the windows service every morning please?
