OpenVPN GUI problem. Program doesnt start properly?

Post by lolex » Sat Aug 31, 2013 2:35 am

Hi

I downloaded OpenVPN with the GUI. I found out i had to run it with admin rights or it wouldnt work right.

After doing that, I wouldn't get that registry-error thing. But nothing is happening. Down in the system tray, I see that it's running but it doesnt open to a big window.

The only thing it lets me do is right click and click "Exit" or "Settings". I have imported the config file, but that's all the program lets me do :?: :?:

I checked the log folder, No logs has been made, so obviously something is wrong here

Help really apreaciated! Thanks!

I downloaded OpenVPN with the GUI.
so you are talking about the community version of openvpn...

I see that it's running but it doesnt open to a big window.
big window....? :?
I have imported the config file,
imported :?: the config file...can you explain it?

usually the procedure is like:

after you install openvpn & gui you copy configs & keys inside

c:\program files\openvpn\config

folder and you modify your config to look for the keys in the appropriate place...
