There are no TAP-Windows adapters on this system. You should be able to create a TAP-Windows adapter by going to Start -> All Programs -> TAP-Windows -> Utilities -> Add a new TAP-Windows virtual ethernet adapter. about openvpn-build HOT 22 CLOSED

what is OAS ? is it Access Server ?

from openvpn-build.

I don't know, maybe it is created by the other programs.

from openvpn-build.

can you try installing community openvpn ? I guess similar adapter (without OAS) should appear

from openvpn-build.

btw, do you mean tapctl from AS package ?

from openvpn-build.

Just guess, can you tell me what the tapctl.exe is used to ?

from openvpn-build.

I tried to run tapctl.exe, but I didn't see any execution details.

from openvpn-build.

The build.bat file in the "openvpn-build\msvc" directory, only copy the header file of TAP, neither compile the source files, nor install process, is this correct?

no, it is not correct

from openvpn-build.

That's all for the TAP in the build.bat, is it enough?
echo TAP

copy build.tmp\tap-windows6-%TAP_VERSION%\src\tap-windows.h "%TARGET%\include"
if errorlevel 1 goto error

if "%MODE%" == "DEPS" goto end

from openvpn-build.

Yes, that is enough

from openvpn-build.

OK，can you tell me what the openvpnserv.exe is used to ?

We don't yet use tapctl.exe in our released builds. Instead we use the old tapinstall.exe / devcon.exe. OpenVPN 2.5 will be the first version to use tapctl.exe.

from openvpn-build.

I am using the master branch, it can generate the tapctl.exe now, maybe i shoud change the branch from master to 2.4.7?

from openvpn-build.

Hi
Could you tell me where i can get the tapinstall.exe / devcon.exe? i can't access the community-download page of openvpn, thanks in advance.

from openvpn-build.

Is your access failure temporary or permanent ? openvpn.net had some issues yesterday ..

Devcon is a part of the Windows Driver Samples package:
https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/master/setup/devcon

Mind that tapctl.exe has a different syntax than devcon.exe and does not install or update the driver. This is (will be) the installer's job. Therefore, it is not a snap-in replacement for the devcon.exe. If you are looking to script the process before the official 2.5 release using tapctl.exe, I suggest you try this:

pnputil -i -a OemVista.inf
tapctl create --name "My VPN Connection"

from openvpn-build.

Tapinstall.exe / devcon.exe can be obtained from official OpenVPN installers. If you don't want to actually install OpenVPN to get it, you can extract the archive with 7-zip. There are three tapinstall.exe's there, but the largest is probably for x86_64/amd64 architecture.

Thanks a lot.. This solution worked for me on Windows 11.

This seems to be an old 2.4 issue
