~I've been trying to connect to a us server in open vpn but it always crashes.

~I've just uninstalled /reinstalled openvpn (it is the latest version) and it always keeps on failing.

~This is the log before the openvpn crashes:

~Then after the last line, the openvpn.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience dialogue box appears.

~Can anyone point me what is the problem?

~This is the log of the server that i'm trying to connect

You need to specify a remote server in your config file.

e.g

remote <serverip> <port>

~I tried what you said to me, but the error keeps on repeating itself.

~The problem is not solved.

~This is the config:
tls-client
client
dev tun
route-method exe
route-delay 2
redirect-gateway
pull
persist-key
mssfix 1400
verb 1
auth-user-pass
ca data/HSSEXP/ca.crt

~Thanks anyway

Why are you setting lport and rport?

In particular, the rport you have defined is different from the port you specified in the
'remote' line. Why? That's just confusing the issue. They need to be the same (better, just
remove the rport line completely).

Also, you've not selected a protocol to use - TCP or UDP? What is the server configured
to use?

proto udp
or...
proto tcp

Are you sure that you have a valid OpenVPN daemon running on the remote side? Are
you sure that the port is unfirewalled and connectable?

>NOTE: could not get adapter index for {5915B84C-BB91-45BB-B6EC-E12E13F913F4}

is the tap adapter properly installed?

why are you using 2.1rc19 ver?
use the latest 2.1.4 or 2.2

what windows you have?
