Hello,
I just installed OpenVPN Client version 3.2.2 (1455) and am trying to import a .OVPN file created by my routers VPN setup instructions (NETGEAR R6400). When I attempt to import the file I get the following error, "Failed to import file Failed to parse profile: option_error, proto_option_error. TAP mode is not supported." I read another post that sounded similar, the fix on that was that the version of OpenVPN was not the most current. I double checked that I have the most up to date from the website. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I'm guessing based on TinCanTech's eyeroll that I'm missing something obvious...mind letting me know what that is?

The error message says "TAP mode is not supported" ...
Android, iPhone...?

I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.

I'm sorry. I'm sure TinCanTech has been helpful to many people, but if you can take the time to respond with an eyeroll, you can take the time to respond with something a _bit_ more useful. The time it takes to make a snarky rolling-eye emoticon it can take to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUN/TAP. C'mon. With all due respect, I think one can do better.

@ kwende -- If people refuse to read the error which they are presented with then they cannot be helped
an eye-roll is exactly what they deserve.
And you should not be so quick to judge ... lest you be judged also ..
