HITMAN Hi, Been using openvpn for a number of years, however I've come across this issue on my client PC/Laptop on Windows 10 (version 10.0.16299.) regarding reset/DHCP commands sent to the Tap 9 adapter. The problem is when I try and connect to the openvpn server using the OVPN client on the laptop, I log in - the connection starts but then hangs, if I just leave it, after about 1-2 minutes I get 'connected but with errors' in the log (routing issue as the tap 9 adapter has not obtained a correct IP). To get the connection to complete successfully with no errors, I have to disconnect, open network connections and disable/re-enable the tap adapter, which sort of refreshes/Renew's the adapter, then I try to connect again and it is successful. Sometimes I have to disable/re-enable the tap adapter a few times before I can get a successful connection. Tried installing the latest Tap adapter driver but no dice. Looked into setting up a static IP for the VPN within the tap 9 adapter settings but the OVPN client overrides/defaults my settings and puts it back to DHCP when trying to connect. Any help/idea's to resolve this. Thanks.
TinCanTech Are you using "OpenVPN "Access Server" or "Community Edition" ? Please see: HOWTO: Request Help !
HITMAN Hi Running latest 0penvpn Client on the laptop and Asus AC88u router is running the openvpn server side. I have however managed to resolve the issue somewhat, takes a little while longer to connect but connects every time - by adding the line --dhcp-renew to the client config on the Laptop. Thanks.
