Hi All,
I have a user who gets this error. They are on version 2.5.4 which was installed the other day. They can work around it by disabling the Tap-Windows6 interface then re-enabling it, but they need to keep the VPN tunnel connected, and the server is set to re-negotiate the connection every 8 hours. When it does that, it fails to reconnect with this error.
Oddly, I looked on another workstation I have OpenVPN client 2.5.3 on (which was installed back in September) and it connects fine and maintains the connection for several days (to the same server my client connects to) but it does not have a Tap-Windows6 adapter.
On my client's machine, I tried uninstalling the client then re-installing it, but choosing not to install the Tap-Windows6 driver, and of course no Tap-Windows6 adapter was created, but the client would not connect, giving that same error.
I do not have admin access to the server (it's another party who controls it), so I can't change the re-negotiation timeouts; they are what they are. I am wondering if there is another solution? At the moment, I am thinking maybe a batch script that runs every X hours that disconnects the VPN then starts it back up again (at this point, it is just a thought; I haven't tried it yet)
Let me know your thoughts and ideas. Thanks! :-)
