[Openvpn-users] Windows 7 - OpenVPN fails after wake from Sleep/Standby

[Bill B. <Bil...@ph...>]

Hi All,
 
I have run into an issue when using Openvpn (2.1.1, 2.1.3 & 2.2 b3) on 
Windows 7. I install OpenVPN without errors and configure the service to 
run automatically. The tunnel starts and works normally when started 
manually or when the computer is started. The issue occurs if I put the 
laptop into sleep/standby mode. When I "wake" the computer, the tunnel 
is down. No traffic is passed, there is nothing in the openvpn log file. 
Once I restart the service, the tunnel works normally again.

Is this a known issue? Do I need to adjust my client config file (below) 
for Win7? I tried adding the route-delay parameter, but that did not 
seem to make a difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!
