Hi everyone, I upgraded from OVPN 2.5.2 to OVPN 2.5.9 on my Windows Server. Now OVPN doesn't start anymore. There is also no log file. The event only shows "The service has started", but no diagnostic information. When I start OVPN from the console everything works and I can connect to the server. OVPN does not start via service. Netstat doesn't show a listener at the UDP port 1194 (but it does, if I start OVPN via console). I checked the registry, the values there are all correct.
Is there anything you could recommend, to get some more diagnostic information, what's happening here?
This is my config file.
port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key.secure
server 10.8.56.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
keepalive 10 120
auth SHA512
tls-version-min 1.2
tls-cipher TLS-ECDHE-RSA-WITH-AES-256-GCM-SHA384
dh none
ecdh-curve secp384r1
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 3
These are the Registry entries:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN]
"disable_save_passwords"=dword:00000000
@="C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\"
"config_dir"="C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\"
"autostart_config_dir"="C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config-auto\\"
"config_ext"="ovpn"
"exe_path"="C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\bin\\openvpn.exe"
"log_append"="0"
"log_dir"="C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\log\\"
"ovpn_admin_group"="OpenVPN Administrators"
"priority"="NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS"
Thanks in advance for any insights.
