R6700v3 OpenVPN not working
Can not get OpenVPN to work... I have followed the instructions below. see attached log file... something about "TLS error: Unsupported protocol."?? log Regards Holmis
can you post your profile trying to import? please blank out your domain name or other private information. The option file contains error without looking if i have to guess
proto option has some invalid characters or some information. Proto can only be TCP or UDP please check that. For most VPN configuration you need to have this set to UDP so can tolerate some errors.
Hi... the profile looks like this.. (client1.ovpn)

client
dev tap

hi Stefan,
your profile looks good, apologies for missing it earlier. TAP mode is not supported on OpenVPN 3, i missed the TAP message from your screenshot. Try using the 2.x client from the download page https://openvpn.net/client/client-connect-vpn-for-windows/
thanks
or the community download https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/
Thanks a lot for helping me, but with this version I'm back where I started, my first post...
hmm... maybe you can find something in the log file, attached it as a pdf... (I removed domain name)
