I have tested this *many* times because I was so surprised!
openvpnserv2 is being auto started somehow.
Some details:
I have
/program file/openvpn/config/tapserver.ovpn (one config file)
/user/*/openvpn/config/ (ZERO files)
I double checked, I have *never* installed nssm on this machine!
OpenvpnServ2 registry is set to:
Start 0x03 (3) Manual
Type 0x10 (16) ?
Openvpn Interactive Service registry is set to:
Start 0x02 (2) Auto
Type 0x10 (32) ?
I have checked all HKLM/HKCU:/../Run +Runonce (that I know of)
I have not made any changes from the default openvpn-2.4.0 install
except to turn off openvpn-gui autostart at logon. Everything else
is as default. Plus my single --dev tap --server config file (as above)
The Openvpn-Admin group has not been created as it is not required.
I understand this is not expected behaviour but I cannot work out
why it is being started.
My only assumption is that windows has screwed something up but ..
where to look ?
I have systernals autostart showing nothing unusual ..
UPDATE:
I have un+reinstalled openvpn-2.4.0 and the same behaviour occurs.
The only change I made from install is to rename the tap adapter
to coincide with the name used in the only config in
/program files/openvpn/config/tapserver.ovpn
After full reboot:
openvpnserv2 is starting.
There is a delay suggesting it is the "delayed auto-start" option being
used. The service manager shows as openvpnservice (serv2) Manual
*** If any other user has access to win7 and they can
test this for me I would appreciate your help.
Side note: after re-install the openvpn-gui is still set to *not*
run even though the installer is set to auto-load at user logon.
(registry not being updated during install?)
I am not in a rush to work this out, I was only using W7 to work
on #828 .. unfortunately, I cannot get access to the pc for a few
hours now (it is on facebook duty)
Thanks
