Netgear router. Pulled config ovpn file from router vpn setup menu. Openvpn 2.5.2 for Windows 10 installed.
Getting the "Connecting to management interface failed" Error when trying to connect. Have changed network "TAP" adapter name to "NETGEAR-VPN"
Any suggestions:

Good tip. It actually pointed me to the fact that when the ovpn config file was imported, it didn't take the other config files and key files with it to the same folder. Copying them into the same folder solved the issue and all runs smooth.

Could you be more specific? how did you solve the problem?
where did you put the files?
