[Openvpn-users] Initiating connection at boot time

[David A. <arn...@po...>]

I have openvpn installed with a single client configuration in
Windows 10 Home.  I see that I have a service "OpenVPN Interactive
Service" that starts automatically.

What I would like to do is connect to my OpenVPN server *at boot
time.* Not at login time.

I tried the obvious thing and added a call to registry key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run which launches
openvpn-gui-exe with an argument --connect (my configfile).

This does launch the program openvpn-gui.exe, but no connection
occurs. The error I found in Windows event log is
openvpnserv error:
0x20000000
OpenVPN exited with error: exit code = 1073807364

Another time, I rebooted the PC and I could find nothing in the event
log.

Any suggestions?
