junglejet I have three perfectly working VPNs, all which servers are hosted by Win 10. On none of them I can access the management console via telnet. The config line is "management localhost 7505". It is definitely there and the server was restarted, A brief check with "netstat -na" shows that port 7505 TCP is not listed, i.e. not listening. I found a hint about using IPV6 ::1 instead of localhost, but that does not work either, OpenVPN server is configured as tap adapter and network bridge. Connections work fine and port 1194 is visible in netstat. Any ideas?
junglejet Yes. But what does that mean? I cant find anything in the Openvpn-gui doc that would relate to the management console.
TinCanTech You have to start the daemon without using the GUI .. There is a service you can use: https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#startup Or not use the management port ..
