How to define a OpenVPN error?
The program OpenVPN has a connection log. During the connection to OpenVPN server, the program logs the connection data. This information is not transmitted anywhere and remains on your computer to let you understand the reason for the error. To call the log window, click twice the icon OpenVPN in the system tray with the right button of the mouse.
If the connection was successful and you are connected to your VPN server, the log window should look like this:
I can’t choose "Connect" when I click the icon in system tray
There are only "Proxy Settings", "About" and "Exit" in the list, but there is no "Connect".
This means that you hadn’t downloaded or hadn’t copied the configuration file "client.ovpn" to "C:/Program Files/OpenVPN/config". Open again the instruction of setup of OpenVPN connection for your OS and check all the steps of setup and settings.
