If the rumours I've heard are right, NDIS5 support will disappear in some Windows updates. The very first rumours was that it would disappear in Win 8.2 (whatever that version ended up as), but Microsoft might have delayed the deprecation a bit longer. On a more general note, please use the NDIS6 (tap6) driver instead, as that is what gets most of the attention these days and it does need far more testing. We really do want the old NDIS5 drive to die. My opinion is that once OpenVPN 2.4 will be released, we should stop shipping the NDIS5 driver when git master begins to target for OpenVPN 2.5. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth > 2016-06-22 22:14 GMT+05:00 Samuli Seppänen <sam...@openvpn.net > <mailto:sam...@openvpn.net>>: > > I have not actually tested tap-windows (NDIS 5) on Windows 10, but I > believe NDIS 5 support was removed from Windows 10 a while back.
