brrrknee ...and as soon as I disconnect, the browser works. i.e., Chrome browser open, on google.com page, before connecting; any search for "whatever" pops up immediately. I connect the client to the openVPN, and the browser window times out on any attempt to navigate or search. Disconnect VPN, all works again. So it appears all client network traffic is grabbed by the VPN (internal TAP net 10.8.0.*)? How do I enable this to reach out through to the internet, either independent of the VPN or via the VPN server? The same issue doesn't happen on the server system, browsers are usable w or wo VPN connected. Though I still cannot access the VPN via browser, on either server or client. local 192.168.xx.xx port 1194 proto udp dev tun ca "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\ca.crt" cert "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\server.crt" key "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\server.key" dh dh4096.pem topology subnet server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt push "redirect-gateway autolocal def1" client-to-client keepalive 10 120 cipher AES-256-CBC max-clients 10 persist-key persist-tun status openvpn-status.log verb 6 mute 10 explicit-exit-notify 1 client dev tun proto udp remote mysys.HopTo.org nnnnn #nnnnn is really a 5d number, mysys is my unique hostnm resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun mute-replay-warnings ca "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\ca.crt" cert "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\myclient.crt" key "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\myclient.key" remote-cert-tls server # If a tls-auth key is used on the server # then every client must also have the key. ;tls-auth ta.key 1 #removed from server in effort to get browser access to VPN, no help but not yet reconfigured auth-nocache cipher AES-256-CBC verb 6 mute 10

I've been wrestling this install on win10 for well over a week, frustrating.
TinCanTech This is not a "cryptic response" .. This is the post you have to read in order to understand how we can help.
