Open VPN with win XP and wireless card

  • 772

I'm trying to run an OpenVPN VPN on an XP box. It works fine when I have a physical connection plugged in to the wired Ethernet port. However, when I try to run it with the wireless card as the primary interface I get a new connection created in my control panel that refuses to connect. Anyone have ideas?

    try using tcp instead of udp. A friend of mine got some trouble with wireless connection to ovpn. Connection breaks etc. UDP is a little bit faster than tcp in OVPN, but firstly try to get a clean and long time lasting connection.

    You need the proto tcp-server option to enable this on server side and proto tcp on client side.

    Secondly make sure to use the same interface type on both end. I use the tap on both machines.
