Tap adapter alway in use

Junn Sorran

I everyone,

I have an issue when starting my openvpn server (on windows), I get the error "tap adapter already in use".
I've tried to disable/enable it and when I do so I have 2/3 seconds to connect the tunnel or else the tab adapter will be reused by something else.
I've also tried to desinstall/reinstall openvpn and the adapter but it's still the same.
I've set the openvpn service to start automaticaly but the thing that monopolise the tap adapter seems to start before it.

How can I find what is using my adapter and priorise openvpn on it?

Stop the service and try the GUI .. for testing.

I do already use the GUI

Then do not use the service ..

I use the GUI because the service doesn't work.
So you're saying the GUI and the server a conflicting with each other?

The service works as it should.

No .. the GUI and the openvpnservice cannot be used at the same time.
