metabackup Hi, PC has upgraded to Win10 and now OpenVPN won't connect. I have uninstalled and installed the latest version (2.3.11), re-installed the existing keys from the server it is connecting to but still no joy. All that happens is that the window opens where you usually see loads of scrolling messages before it connects but this window is blank, no messages appear and it eventually fails. The annoying thing is that 'sometimes' it connects and all is OK but this is rare. When I un-installed and I even removed the OpenVPN directly in C:\Program Files. Reboot didn't help. It's not even trying to connect.
TinCanTech Try starting openvpn like so: Open: Command Prompt (Admin) Goto: C:\Program Files\Openvpn\config Enter: openvpn --config your-client-config-file.ovpn You should get something output to the screen.
metabackup Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this and got further, there was quite a long delay but it did connect eventually. It seems the GUI gives up quicker and errors whereas the DOS command will just wait. There were times when it looked like it wouldn't do anything but a CTRL-C actually interrupted something and it then connected with all the usual messages. I've created a desktop *.bat file to do the connection (as long as run as administrator). Any other ideas are welcome!!
metabackup I resolved this by downgrading OpenVPN Windows client to 2.2.2, there's still a delay of about 20 seconds but the messages start scrolling and it connects.
