OpenVPN Support Forum

Hello,

I have an opensource OpenVPN server (2.4.9 running on CentOS 7) and while I usually have Windows users download and use the community package with OpenVPN GUI, some didn't follow the instructions and have installed OpenVPN Connect client instead. They also forgot to mention that and left me pulling my hair out for days - until I got one of them to send me a screenshot...

Anyway - should OpenVPN Connect client work with the opensource server on Linux and if so, does it support all the 'pushable' features (in this instance, we need to use '--client-nat')?

Many thanks and apologies if this has been covered before - I just couldn't find an answer.

In this case, it is probably mentioned in the Connect client documentation.

Thank you, having the user use community OpenVPN with OpenVPN GUI did the trick.
