hrm, i dont see any backslashes in your client config
post the entire log please

helo,

there is no blackslash on my ovpn, the ovpn and the keys and certs are on c:\program files\openvpn\config, thats why i didn´t wrote the path.

I am not with the log here but gives me a blaskslash usage error and suggests to use "c:\\openvpn\\secret.key"
