without the server logs nobody can tell what exactly is happening...

Hi everyone! I've posted in this topic because I have the same problem. While I am new to the forum, I have used open vpn for some time now ... and I have never had this issue before.

It tells me the connection has failed.

I tried logging on to the site to the site to get a new password, but I get a message saying that my email isn't valid.

So I'm trying to figure out what the problem is as it worked perfectly fine just last night.

Could it be that my subscription has ended? I never got any "reminders" telling me it was about to expire. Unless it went to my junk mail as that cleans out automatically.

Could it just be a traffic issue?

But then there is this invalid password and email thing going on.

I'm little lost here, and I would greatly appreciate it if any of you good people could point me in the right direction.

All the best!!!
Malick

PS: My pc runs 24-7. Oddly over the past few days, I have found that it was connected when I am absolutely sure that I had disconnected it the night before.
