[Openvpn-users] OpenVPN's WAN Miniport(PPTP), VPN Client Adapter and TAP-Windows Adapter V9

[James P. <old...@ya...>]

Hello there,

 

I am still struggle with my Windows 7 VPN client's internet access. My
OpenVPN client-server works great for my Windows 10 laptop and my Android
phones. But my Windows 7 laptop cannot gain internet access with the VPN
connection. I have tried OpenVPN 3 years ago. I have also installed a client
one year ago. But each time I think I have uninstalled the older version. By
looking at the Control Panel --> Network and Internet --> Network
Connections, I found I have a WAN Miniport(PPTP), a VPN Client Adapter and a
TAP-Windows Adapter V9. I think these extra connections exist here may be
the reason there is not internet access. 

 

My question is can I just delete those older connections? My guess is that
the TAP one is the latest. 

 

Why they are different?

 

Thanks,

James
