Unless other changes have been made to the windows service, I'd recommend not using it at all. There are error conditions under which it just hangs and blocks openvpn.exe from working We moved to using nssm - we set it to auto-restart on error and now openvpn as a Windows service is as reliable as openvpn as a Unix service Jason -- Cheers Jason Haar Corporate Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.

Re: [Openvpn-devel] OpenVPN Service Windows 8
I have been using OpenVPN Service to run my clients vpn connections on Windows 8 and have noticed that they never starts automatically even though its set to. I have found that to fix this you need to go into services.msc and in OpenVPN Service you need to go to the Log On tab and change the Local System account to Allow service to interact with desktop. Is this expected behaviour or only new because of Win 8/10 Hi, Afaict this problem does not occur on Windows 7 and earlier. Samuli
