#482 assigned Bug / Defect

Win64 client NDIS6 does not shut down TAP interface clearly upon disconnect

Description

I have openvpn-2.3.5-i602-x64 installed on Win8.1Ent (with latest updates).

I have multiple connection profiles and single TAP interface.
Client is being used in 'dev tap' mode.

When I disconnect from one server and connect to another, the IP settings on TAP interface are not applied properly but look like left intact from previous connection.

The workarounds are:

  1. Use dedicated TAP adapter for each connection profile

or

  1. Manually disable and reenable the TAP adapter after disconnection using 'adapter settings' windows snap-in.

Hi,

can you provide a log file that shows what is happening (using the same tap adapter), and the client config used for that (without key, cert, ca, tls-auth, of course).

We do take care to remove configs at disconnect (*and* overwrite whatever might have been there before).

It is always possible that there is a bug, but without a log, I can not see anything.

Also, 2.3.5 is ancient, so it's very likely that bugs there have long been fixed.

If this can be reproduced with 2.4.9 or 2.5.0 (due in a few weeks), please report again. With a log.
