Hello,
I've been using OpenVPN on several computers in the past and never had any crashes. Today I wanted to use an old connection to my server from the Windows 7 x64 desktop. Connection could be established but a few seconds after, my computer suddenly restarted and Windows offered a safe mode boot. This could be reproduced every time I tried the following:
* Open a VPN connection to my server with setting the default gateway
* Opening any connection to the internet, for example with a web browser
The moment the other connection should go through the tunnel, the computer restarts immediately. I don't see anything in the Windows event log anymore but it's obvious that OpenVPN is the culprit. My computer hasn't crashed for months at least but I haven't used OpenVPN in that time either.
The crash first happened today with version 2.3.6. Then I updated to 2.3.9 but the problem remained. I've installed the x64 version.
What's the problem here and how can it be resolved? Has there been a malicious Windows update recently that may cause it?
