"TAP" interface missing after install OpenVPN GUI
Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2019 7:24 am
Hi,
I'm using OpenVPN GUI on Windows 10. I've download and install it from my pfSense firewall.
The first time after install it can be used but after 1 or 2 time of restart my PC I've found it cannot use and return log like this
Then I go to Network Connection in Control Panel and found that the "TAP" interface got missing.

Then I must re-install OpenVPN GUI to bring TAP back and the same after 1 or 2 time of restart my PC it got missing again.
So What causes it?, How can I resolve this?
other details :
OpenVPN package version on pfSense
- package openvpn-client-export v.1.4.14
my pfSense specification :
- pfSense 2.3.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
- Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2407
- RAM 16GB
- 500 GB HDD
Thanks.
