Dear all,

For two years ive been using OpenVPN to connect to another computer/location to access files. Along the way ive encountered problems and managed to solve them althoug I am no computer hero. Now I have a problem which I cannot solve. Hope this forum helps!

All of a sudden my connection fails with the following message: UDPv4: Connection reset by peer (WSAECONNRESET) (fd=224,code=10054).

Searching online I cannot find a solution to my problem. I dont know where the problem lies. My computer configurations? My firewall? OpenVPN configfile? The configuration of the computer I am trying to reach?

Does anyone know where to start? I can provide more details when asked.

Hope someone can help me.

Here is the full log. Now it got met thinking it has something to do with the cipher? Due to the following line:

DEPRECATED OPTION: --cipher set to 'AES-128-CBC' but missing in --data-ciphers (AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305). OpenVPN ignores --cipher for cipher negotiations.
