Which version of OpenVPN is installed on the Windows laptop?

Thanks. I just connected a Windows 11 PC to an RBR750 running OpenVPN server. Here's how my Attached Devices screen appears on a computer connected to the RBR750 at IP 10.0.0.5 (sorry for the device name. I was confirming how many characters long a device name can be.)

This confirms that the remote computer connected via a TAP adapter (the goofy default for Windows connections) and was assigned 10.0.0.6. Opened a web browser to 10.0.0.1 (the RBR750 LAN IP) and it shows the same situation.
This is the version of OpenVPN running on the remote computer:

On the interface for the router from within the LAN (not via VPN), the laptop connected via VPN does not appear. There is no VPN section listed like there is on the image you provided. None of the devices have the 1.18 IP address assigned either.
