Windows – Unable to connect to Virtual Private Network

networkingopenvpnvpnwindows 7

I am trying to figure out what is going on here as I am unable to connect to a VPN most of the time. I am using FrootVPN on the OpenVPN protocol. I used this guide to set it up. It is entirely ran through software on my computer (running windows 7 64 bit) I have not made any changes to the router settings. I have been using it for about 4 or 5 days and at first it was working fine. Then it started needing 2 or 3 tries to connect and now it won't connect most of the time. I ALWAYS run as admin. Today I turned off my antivirus/firewall and now it connects but my IP address stays the same.

Logs: Logs had to be uploaded because I met my maximum character count

Does Not Connect

IP address does not change

EDIT: If I was to add it to the whitelist in my firewall what would the address and port and all that information be?
Also Now I get an error dialogue saying "ERROR: Reconnecting to FrootVPN has failed

I forgot my credentials to my router so I did a factory reset. That hasn't helped yet, I will try turning off the firewall just to test.

OK, With the firewall on the router turned off and the program ran as admin I get this:

Best Answer

I faced the same error and in my case the solution was the following. Go to Network adapters -> TunnelTap, change IPv4 settings to assign IP address automatically. Apply changes.
