Problem openvpn connect new version. Does not connect. Error.

Post by Znad » Sat Sep 16, 2023 10:15 am

Hi to all,
i've updated the open vpn client to latest version 3.4.2. I'm using windows 11 22h2 22621.2283. Before the update it works correctly. I'm setting the vpn from my router Netgear R7000. If i use my android smartphone with latest openvpn app it works perfectly, so it is not a firewall problem.
I've tried to import again the config file downloaded from my Netgear R7000 client1.ovpn client.key client.crt ca.crt. but the problem still remain.

The error happens immediately when i try to connect and it says:
There was an error attempting to connect to the selected server.
Error message: option_error: sorry, unsupported options present in configuration: UNKNOWN/UNSUPPORTED OPTIONS
please refer to connection logs for more details.

This is the log file:

OpenVPN core 3.8.2connect1 win x86_64 64-bit OVPN-DCO built on Aug 21 2023 16:29:24
Frame=512/2112/512 mssfix-ctrl=1250

Someone can help me to solve and fix this error ?!?

Thanks a lot for any reply.

I don't know if you have already found a solution to this problem, but I have had the same issue. I googled it and found the solution. In case that you still have this issue, please do the following.
Open your .ovpn file in sime text editor and simple erase the lines that are reported in your log file, so erase this
5 [resolv-retry] [infinite]
7 [persist-key]
8 [persist-tun]
Save the file and load it again in your openVPNConnect.

This worked for me just fine.
hope that it will for you as well.
Reagrds...

MY QUESTION WAS SOLVED

I found ovpn in ~/.local/share/OVPN

There I find
logs
-rw-rw-r-- statistics.day
-rw-rw-r-- statistics.speed

WHAT FILE SHOULD BE EDITED peter Kahn?

I have a similar problem. Only white screen after start.

Sime? I use nano.... Never heard about a sime editor.

I tried to install DCO (Data-Channel Offload) kernel module for OpenVPN) in synaptic but it gave an error.
