Need help, may be an easy problem :)

Hello,

Following new work, I inherited an old version of OpenVpn (v.2.318.16002) with TAP version 9.21.2, on a Windows Server 2012 R2.
My clients running on 2.3.14-I601 version.
I know, that's quite old ones :shock: :shock: :shock:

I currently encounter no problem on PCs in Windows 7, the tunnel goes up and I can connect in RDP on PCs but it doesn't work on Windows 10 PCs.
Since I had a little time, I tested to make it work on these pc there, I applied a method found on internet which consists in adding the value ComponentId / tap0901 to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Class \
{4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

Following this manipulation, my vpn goes up well apparently, I have the route added when I check with a route print.
On the other hand, it is impossible for me to connect with RDP on PCs.

I think my problem comes from the version, but I'm not sure either. Can you confirm that my diagnosis is correct ?
So yes I will update it for sure but I realized that the installer for Windows 10 requires a Windows Server 2016.

So my question is rather simple, if I want my VPN to work on Windows 10, do I have to migrate my server to 2016 or is-there an other version that would allow me to run my VPN with Windows 10 and Windows Server 2012 R2 ?

Many thanks in advance for your answers and your clarifications.

Ps: sorry for my approximate english, i went through an automatic translator...

I run a Windblows XP server quite happily ..

Really ? You manage to make it work on XP Server with Pc on windows 10 fully updated ?

So my version is not the cause of the problem, right ? I can make it work without needing an update of my server and stay in 2012 R2 ?
In this case, why in the Community Downloads, it's specified :

"The Windows 10 installer works on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016/2019. The Windows 7 installer will work on Windows 7/8/8.1/Server 2012r2."

Do I need a specific installer for Windows 10 or not ?

Thanks for your answer

Windows 10 requires Openvpn for Windows 10 .. because of the TAP driver.
