Windows 8.1, OpenVPN 2.4 (GUI v11.9.0.0). Sometimes when connecting,
especially when re-connecting, my connections won't
fully initialize. However, it often seems that a manual "ipconfig /renew
<tun-adapter>" fixes it. So much so that I'm
considering add a "up" command to my configs.
Does this indicate an obvious and hopefully fixable problem? Or should I just go
with what works...and add the "up" command.
What error do you see in the logs -- is the connection failing with "Waiting for TUN/TAP interface to come up"? If so just an
ipconfig /renew may not be enough as routes will not be setup either if the interface does not get an IP.
Try adding --dhcp-renew option in the config file. Ideally this shouldn't be necessary and I haven't seen many such reports. A
more common issue is dns server not getting registered unless --register-dns option is used. In case the tap adapter
properties have been changed from the default, check its media status setting -- should be "Application Controlled".
sometimes it also helps to add
tap-sleep 2
to the client side config:
--tap-sleep n : Sleep for n seconds after TAP adapter open before
attempting to set adapter properties.
