Wifi connection disabled when openvpn establishes connection

lacayo

Hi,

can you help me?

Notebook: windows 10 1903
openvpn version 2.4.4
WLAN intel dual bad wireless-N 7260

A few seconds after establishing a vpn connection, the WIFI of the laptop is disabled and it is not possible to activate it.
When disconnecting the VPN connection, the WIFI automatically activates again

Solution 1: Uninstalling Openvpn does not work. Same problem when reinstalling
Solution 2: Uninstall WIFI drivers and download the latest ones does not work either

Solution 3: https://support.microsoft.com/es-es/help/2919900/windows-connection-manager-disconnects-wlan-if-a-vpn-connection-is-est

neither does it work

Through network cable there is no problem. The connection is stable.

Thanks

Try version 2.4.8 -- A strange bug was discovered with some network card drivers but I don't have full details.

Hi,

It´s no possible.
openvpn certificate not runs at 2.4.8 version

Check your log file for errors.

Thanks for your reply.
There is no error in the vpn connection.
It's a Wi-Fi device problem.
When I use an Ethernet cable, Wi-Fi be disabled.
Windows transforms a VPN connection in an ethernet connection.
It seems that Windows 10 1903 update is not compatible with the Intel Wi-Fi device

Hi,

My problem is solved.
I found the solution on this website.

HP laptops have a service named ' HP LAN/WLAN/WWAN Switching UWP service'

I have disabled this service and the VPN works correctly
