This doesn't look right. Could you provide a relevant part of a log file? For example, below is my recent connection log with beta3 and wintun: 2020-09-10 10:27:05 interactive service msg_channel=584 2020-09-10 10:27:05 ROUTE_GATEWAY 100.64.0.1/255.240.0.0 I=20 HWADDR=84:fd:d1:e8:1e:6c 2020-09-10 10:27:05 open_tun 2020-09-10 10:27:05 Ring buffers registered via service 2020-09-10 10:27:05 wintun device [OpenVPN Wintun] opened The first line means the openvpn-gui uses interactive service, which is used to open wintun device (which requires SYSTEM privileges) and setting up tun interface (which requires elevated privileges). Symptomes you mentioned are the same when GUI is run under elevated privileges and interactive service is not used, but it is impossible to say if this is the case without seeing logs. _______________________________________________ Openvpn-devel mailing list Openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-devel
