Openvpn-gui does not open if already started

Published 3 months ago

On new windows 11 I cannot get openvpn-gui working correct.

If openvpn-gui is already open RDM cannot start connection.
If I close openvpn-gui it is working correct.

If open eventlog error is:
OpenVPN GUI
Unknown WM_COPYDATA message ignored. (dwData: 32781, cbData: 46, lpData: xxx.yyy.xxx.ovpn)

Hello,

Could you please try with the setting "Allow multiple connections". This will send a message to an opened instance of the gui instead of trying to open it.

You can find it in File -> Settings -> Entry types -> Sessions -> VPN/Tunnel/Gateway.

And if you're using a custom configuration file path in the gui, it would also need to be set in RDM so that it matches.
