I previously installed and operated OpenVPN and vpnbook in November in Windows 10. Due to a recent failure to login in the last week, I uninstalled and then reinstalled current versions, using the changed ID and password shown on the site.
Several attempts to connect using different configurations have failed. The auth process appears to be at fault, and the the vpn loops through a Restart each time. Could someone offer a suggestion? (I have turned off my antivirus). Below is my log file:

Tnx Pippin. At the risk of embarrassing myself, any tips on reviewing credentials? Web credentials, or windows credentials? I searched various panels in Control Panel-Internet Options, and except for the fasct that 'VPN Settings' box is blank, nothing looked interesting. Windows Firewall did not list TAP for admission thru firewall.
