Hi Guys
I hope someone can help me get OpenVPN as a service to run.
I'm running OpenVPN 2.5.2 and the VPN is working fine, if I connect manually.
I can't get it to connect upon startup.
Things I have done:
1. Installed OpenVPN with admin credentials, and added the Service under 'Customize'.
2. Added the .ovpn-config with ekstra files to the 'config-auto'.
I have two services running:
OpenVPN Interactive Service
OpenVPNService
And one service set to manually:
OpenVPN Legacy Service
The services says running, but the VPN is not connecting.
I have tried to run the services with specific user, with admin rights, but that does not change anything.
Can anyone point me to a setup guide or maybe tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi TinCanTech and thank you for your reply.
I have already added the .ovpn-file and more to the 'config-auto' folder as per the readme.txt.
Am I missing something? 🙂

I wasn't 100 procent sure about what you meant, but I have updated the post with more info.
As mentioned. It works exactly as it should when connecting manually.

And if you read your logs then you will probably be able to diagnose the problem yourself ..

I figured it out.
It was actually the keepalive that had me wondering.
Because the connection still was up when I rebooted, it couldn't connect again. When I lowered the keepalive it had time enough to close the existing connection before the computer had rebooted.
@TinCanTech Thank you for awesome support.... Really constructive and useful. I couldn't have done it without you and it's exactly that type of support I hoped for when I wrote here......
