[Solved] Error message "It exist a config file VPNConfig.ovpn"

Toddie

Hi,

I've installed a VPN Server at a Synology station. Fine. Had configured the OpenVPN client at my W10 laptop. Fine, works great.
But everytime I restart my laptop I got the message: "It exist a config file named VPNConfig.ovpn. You can't have not more config files with the same name."
Sorry for the text, it is translated, I get this in german.
It confusing me a little bit because I thought I had only one config file. Downloaded the config file, changed the server and moved it (not copied) it to \program\OpenVPN\config folder according to the description.

Now I searched for the log files - an found a second file in my user directory C:\Users\Username\OpenVPN\config\VPNConfig.

Why is it there? Do I need this? On which way I can avoid the error message?

Thanks a lot!

The one above is the one you need so delete the other if you want to use the GUI.
