Running 2.6.3 on a 64 bit Windows 10 machine. Connects back to my R9000 without issue. Ran versions 2.5.7 and 2.6.0 prior.
"Doesn't work for me" leaves a lot of details on the floor?
Thanks, does your router have the latest firmware installled? I dont think the OS is a differentiating factor. Doesnt work means doesnt connect.

The operating system does make a difference. What operating system are you running the OpenVPN application under? Is it a 32 bit or 64 bit version?
Yes, most recent router firmware.
How long has it been since you updated the OpenVPN configuration files on your client computer?
In the OpenVPN application, when you attempt to connect there is a connection log that should provide you with details of the attempted connection. If there is not much in your log, you need to use a text editor and edit the client.ovpn configuration file. There is a line that says verb 0, edit it to say verb 5 and save the file. Your log file on any attempted connection will now show additional details you can use for troubleshooting.
