    6 <p>If the above fix doesn't work, then it's possible that the TAP-Win32 adapter is being firewalled. In general, it's safe to disable the firewall on the TAP-Win32 adapter because OpenVPN makes sure that only an authenticated machine on the other end of the connection can communicate through it. Having said that, there have been reports that certain third party firewalls will block the TAP-Win32 adapter after an XP SP2 upgrade.</p>

    10 <li>ip-win32 ipapi</li>
    11 <li>ip-win32 manual</li>
