Hello guys!

Have a little issue with OpenVpn scripting under Windows 10, it looks very simple, just cant run a simple bath script. Mb somebody can tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advanced.

Here is OpenVpn client config:

Code: Select all

client
dev tun
proto tcp
remote vpnserver.net 443 
script-security 2
up "C:\\Program\ Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\test.bat"
nobind
auth-user-pass
comp-lzo
reneg-sec 0
persist-key
cipher AES-256-CBC
verb 4
remote-cert-tls server
<ca>

Here is the script test.bat

Code: Select all

SET logfile=%USERPROFILE%\secretvpn.log
echo script starts on %DATE% at %TIME% >> %logfile% 2>>&1

And the log output:

Code: Select all

Can somebody check this? Looks like this client scripring feature does not work with windows. I am able to run scripts with OpenVPN GUI scripting, but not with OpenVPN config directives.
