Blonde

Hiya,

I have difficulty installing this openvon https://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/OpenVPN-2.5-beta1-amd64.msi
Errors happening as https://prnt.sc/tzv7h3 and then this https://prnt.sc/tzv7is happening. :idea: :?:

OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 Workstation, latest update. Exploit detection disabled in OS.

I'd like to use TLS 1.3 and thus installing this particular version is important or me. May someone help me please?

Tnx and best of luck 🙂

Hiya @TinCanTech

Thanks. I reinstalled from the re-downloaded file and there is no luck as same error happening again and again from the screenshots above. I installed by https://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-install-2.4.9-I601-Win10.exe and the installed succeed while stopping in the TuN/TAP section for a long while. I'm confirming I'm the Admin user of Windows 10 Pro x64 Workstation and I downloaded a fresh version of MS Windows 10 Pro x64 just from MS website and there is no bloatware in my system. I can confirm I have successfully installed the OpenVPN 2.4 version on my Windows 10 Pro x64 Workstation until before latest major MS upgrade/update version.

I see these https://prnt.sc/u05bd1 and https://prnt.sc/u05cx5 and https://prnt.sc/u05d4t in my Windows 10 Pro x64 Ethernet adapter section. I succeeded to run OpenVPN after running the https://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-install-2.4.9-I601-Win10.exe once in my system and then I reinstalled the OpenVPN 2.5 and there is no luck in installation, the same issue on first post screenshots appears again and again forever.

May please advise me how shall I proceed now?

Tnx and best of luck

The version 2.5 of openvpn for windblows is a beta release and is bound to have issues. I have tested it myself and it does have issues, although my install did complete. I do not know why yours does not and can offer you no advice because I do not know.

For now, you will just have to wait until the release is made official.

If you are primarily wishing to use the 2.5 beta because of TLS 1.3 support note that this was backported into the official release 2.4.9 and provides TLS 1.3 negotiation across platforms including Windows 10

I access my home OpenVPN 2.4.9 server running on a Raspberry Pi from Windows 10, IOS and Android clients all of which utilise the TLS 1.3 exchange as can be see in both the client and server logs

e.g. Windows 10 client log:

Have recently installed OpenTV for android on the new chromecast / Google TV device. I'm trying to import an ovpn file, however the app doesn't seem to recognise the file structure / give ability to navigate the on device file structure. Anyone had this issue? Did anyone found a way to resolve? Kroger eSchedule
