Windows 10 - openvpn "service" does not work

Mojack

Hey guys,

so for me it is not working.
I have a freshly installed 1903 and tried different versions.

Versions that i tried:

2.4.4-I601

2.4.6-I602

2.4.7-I606

2.4.7-I607

When I connecting through the GUI, it works, but not as a service, not with "OpenVPNService" nor with "OpenVPN Legacy Service".
Furthermore the TAP device shown in network adapters in windows says always disconnected, but not if I try to connect through the GUI.

So basically it do nothing.

Are there any known issues?

The new GUI does not use the same config directory as the "Openvpn Service" or the "Openvpn Legacy Service"

By default the GUI uses configs from "\Users\$CurrentUser\Openvpn\Config"
The older services use configs from "\Program files\Openvpn\Config"
