OpenVPN Support Forum

Openvpn always worked fine. It still does from my Iphone. Suddenly from a Windows XP machine I cannot connect anymore.
Please help!

Mon Jan 23 09:00:23 2012 WARNING: Since you are using --dev tun with a point-to-point topology, the second argument to --ifconfig must be an IP address. You are using something (255.255.255.0) that looks more like a netmask. (silence this warning with --ifconfig-nowarn)

Mon Jan 23 09:00:23 2012 There is a problem in your selection of --ifconfig endpoints [local=192.168.33.6, remote=255.255.255.0]. The local and remote VPN endpoints must exist within the same 255.255.255.252 subnet. This is a limitation of --dev tun when used with the TAP-WIN32 driver. Try 'openvpn --show-valid-subnets' option for more info.

This is my clientconfig:
dev tun
tls-client

remote mysite 8080


# If redirect-gateway is enabled, the client will redirect it's
# default network gateway through the VPN.
# It means the VPN connection will firstly connect to the VPN Server
# and then to the internet.
# (Please refer to the manual of OpenVPN for more information.)

remove "tls-client" and "proto tcp-client" from client config file and add "client" and "proto tcp" insted.

something went awry on the server: the following config was pushed:

topology net30
ifconfig 192.168.33.6 255.255.255.0

that's an inconsistent message; check the server config, restart the openvpn server process and reconnect. What should have been pushed is either or did you add a 'client-config-dir' file?
