Openvpn crashes windows 7 after connecting FritzBox AVM vpn-drivers

Hi there,

i just spent a few hours researching the above mentioned problem and did not really find a suitable explanation using google.

Problem is:
Windows 7 openvpn gui (OpenVPN 2.4.1) crashes the whole system with bluescreen directly after successfull connecting to openvpn server.

Solution in my case:
The Windows 7 boxes had the FritzBox AVM vpn-drivers installed, which seemingly are not compatible with openvpn.
I deinstalled AVM vpn-drivers following (https://avm.de/service/fritzbox/fritzbo ... en-werden/) and now it works perfectly.

Regards,
Volker
