Connecting to management Interface failed error on Windows 10
Hello everyone,
In March In iused the OpenVPN 2.5.1-l601 amd64 installer to install the OpenVPN client and had been connecting to VPN successfully for the next two months. On May 13 I ran Windows updates and installed the kb5003173 update (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/top … e249f52527). After rebooting I was no longer able to connect to VPN.
I continually got the following error: Connecting to management Interface failed. (the following screenshot shows a different version of the client because i found that screenshot online)
When I look at the verb 3 logs I see the following:
Code: Select all
2021-05-13 14:32:20 DEPRECATED OPTION: --cipher set to 'AES-256-CBC' but missing in --data-ciphers (AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM). Future OpenVPN version will ignore --cipher for cipher negotiations. Add 'AES-256-CBC' to --data-ciphers or change --cipher 'AES-256-CBC' to --data-ciphers-fallback 'AES-256-CBC' to silence this warning.

I found this on the forums but its several years old and using an earlier version of the client- https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/1051
Has anyone seen the «Connecting to management Interface failed» on a modern version of Windows 10?

I continually got the following error: Connecting to management Interface failed.
Actually, your log shows that you were disconnected not a failure to connect.

Thanks TinCanTech.
I found a screenshot online to show the error I was referring to:
That screenshot was not from my machine but my machine is saying the same thing. The error is saying that connecting to the management interface failed.

Your log file is more important than a random screen shot you found online …
Try again or re-install or something.

The screenshot was not random. I included it because that is the same exact response I get with my client.
Before submitting my original post I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I also tried uninstalling an earlier version, 2.4.9. In both cases my vpn connection attempting is erroring/disconnecting with exit code 1 without event prompting me for credentials.
Has anyone seen anything like this?

I uninstalled 2.4.9, rebooted, and reinstalled 2.5.1. When I tried to launch the connection it did not prompt me for credentials and I got the following logs which repeared infinitely until I finally hit the disconnect button:

You don’t want to use verb 10, use verb 4 then read your log.

So I figured out the issue and I’m embarrassed to say that it has nothing to do with OpenVPN or the Windows update. I recently migrated from one password manager to another. During the migration process it looks like the export/import added a character my OpenVPN password but I hadn’t noticed that due to the length of the password.
**facepalm**

There is no need to feel embarrassment, with a little guidance you solved the problem yourself.
And then you also fed back to the community, Kudos
We all have to start somewhere.

Check the config file location and command line options first and membership in OpenVPNAdministrators group after that as the latter could be a slow process for active directory users. When connection to domain controllers is poor or unavailable, checking the group membership is slow and causes timeouts in the GUI (Trac 1051). However, in cases where the config is in the global directory, no group membership check should be required. The re-ordering here avoids the redundant check in such cases. In addition to this, its also proposed to improve the timeout handling in the GUI, but this change is still useful as it will eliminate the problem for many users.

OpenVPN implements OSI layer 2 or 3 secure network extensions using the industry-standard SSL/TLS protocol, as well as supports flexible client authentication methods based on certificates, smart cards, and/or username/password credentials.
It is a free and open-source software project developed by the Linux Foundation that can be accessed at any point in time. However, lately, it has been reported that the Connecting to management interface failed error popped up on users’ screens.
Thus, we will show you today how to fix the Connecting to management interface failed error, right after we see how OpenVPN works. Follow along!
How does OpenVPN work?
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) connects your company’s internet connection to your private network over the public internet, allowing you to work more securely and efficiently.
Protection through a virtual private network is an important component of a layered security protocol that is vital for securing both company data and an employee’s personal information.
OpenVPN products provide an almost limitless number of configuration choices. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) and enterprises of all sizes use OpenVPN Cloud or OpenVPN Access Server to configure the exact access and granularity that they require for their organization.
The term Open-source refers to software that is freely available to the public. OpenVPN makes use of virtual private network technology to secure and encrypt data delivered over the internet. The key exchange protocol for its unique VPN protocol is SSL/TLS.
With more than 60 million downloads since its inception in 2001, it has established itself as the de facto standard in the open-source networking field.
What can I do when Connecting to management interface failed?
1. Retry on management timeout
- Fortunately, users found a way to fix the Connecting to management interface failed error. Thus head to Github repository with the file you need to download.
- Now scroll down and click on the link named openvpn-gui-timeout.exe in order to download it.
- Once the file is downloaded, double-click on it to run it and wait for it to complete the process. What the file will do is retry to connect to management and fix any error that pops up, including the Connecting to management interface failed error.
That’s it. Sometimes, errors can be fixed by downloading executable files that attempt to fix the error at hand. Fortunately, this was the case for you too, without having to complicate things.

2. Use another VPN service
VPNs have quickly established themselves as essential software solutions for customers who want to secure their online privacy while also protecting their devices from hackers. In addition, we believe that Private Internet Access (PIA) is the greatest in the industry.
A super-intuitive user interface wraps around PIA VPN, making it easy to use on a variety of platforms such as Windows, Mac OS X, Android, Linux, and even straight in your web browser.
No matter whether you’re securely browsing the web, downloading torrents or streaming video, or gaming with buddies, it provides superb connection speeds. If you get sick of the Connecting to management interface failed error, we recommend that you check out PIA.

The primary function of a virtual private network is to conceal your internet activity. It is used to protect against hackers and snoopers on public networks, but it may also be used to hide your IP address, browsing activities, and personal data on any Wi-Fi network, including those at home.
And the more digitized our lives become, the more likely it is that our personal information may be compromised.
Someone could be watching or following your online activities at any time, from your ISP (internet service provider) to organizations gathering data to monetize or sell to hackers attempting to steal your personal information for malevolent purposes.
Hackers can simply intercept and read anything you send and receive when you are connected to an unsecured public Wi-Fi network.
While the majority of your internet traffic is unimportant, it may contain vital information such as your bank account data, credit card numbers, or login credentials. Attackers cast wide nets, which is why using free public Wi-Fi puts you at greater risk of being attacked.

OpenVPN не работает в Windows 10? Вот что делать
OpenVPN — это VPN-клиент с открытым исходным кодом, который вы можете использовать с различными провайдерами VPN. Пока ваш провайдер VPN поддерживает протокол OpenVPN TCP или UDP, вы можете установить соединение OpenVPN.
Вы можете запустить клиент OpenVPN со сценариями и настроить соединения через его файлы настроек.
Однако OpenVPN все еще может столкнуться с некоторыми трудностями. Это несколько разрешений, которые могут исправить соединения OpenVPN в Windows 10.
Как я могу исправить проблемы запуска OpenVPN в Windows 10?
- Отключить брандмауэр Windows
- Отключить стороннее антивирусное программное обеспечение
- Перезапустите адаптер TAP
- Переустановите и обновите драйвер TAP-Windows
- Проверьте, работает ли служба DHCP
- Очистить DNS
- Сброс Winsock
1. Отключите брандмауэр Windows
Брандмауэры и VPN не всегда хорошо сочетаются друг с другом. Брандмауэр Windows может заблокировать ваше соединение OpenVPN, если вы не настроили исходящие порты .
Лучший способ проверить, так ли это, — отключить брандмауэр Windows. Вот как вы можете отключить брандмауэр в Windows 10:
- Нажмите кнопку Cortana на панели задач, чтобы открыть это приложение.
- Введите ключевое слово «Брандмауэр Windows» в поле поиска и выберите, чтобы открыть Брандмауэр Защитника Windows .
- Нажмите Включить или выключить брандмауэр Защитника Windows, чтобы открыть настройки, показанные на снимке ниже.
- Выберите оба параметра « Отключить брандмауэр Защитника Windows» .
- Нажмите кнопку ОК .
2. Отключите стороннее антивирусное программное обеспечение
Также обратите внимание, что стороннее антивирусное программное обеспечение может препятствовать VPN с их собственными брандмауэрами. Таким образом, отключение сторонних антивирусных утилит может также помочь исправить соединение OpenVPN.
Вы можете временно отключить некоторые антивирусные программы, выбрав отключить настройки в их контекстных меню. Или вы также можете удалить программное обеспечение из автозагрузки Windows следующим образом:
- Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши панель задач Windows и выберите « Диспетчер задач» в открывшемся контекстном меню.
- Откройте вкладку «Автозагрузка» в окне «Диспетчер задач».
- Выберите антивирусное программное обеспечение и нажмите кнопку « Отключить» .
- Затем перезагрузите свой ноутбук или рабочий стол.
Если вы хотите узнать, как добавлять или удалять загрузочные приложения в Windows 10, ознакомьтесь с этим простым руководством . Кроме того, если вы не можете открыть диспетчер задач в Windows 10, не беспокойтесь. У нас есть правильное решение для вас.
3. Перезапустите адаптер TAP.
Добавление программного обеспечения OpenVPN в Windows также добавляет адаптер TAP-Windows. В одном сообщении об ошибке OpenVPN говорится: « Все адаптеры TAP-Windows в этой системе в настоящее время используются. »
Если вы получаете это сообщение об ошибке, перезапуск адаптера TAP может исправить OpenVPN. Вы можете перезапустить адаптер TAP следующим образом:
- Нажмите сочетание клавиш Windows + R, чтобы открыть аксессуар «Запуск».
- Введите «Панель управления» в «Выполнить» и нажмите кнопку ОК .
- Нажмите « Центруправлениясетями и общим доступом», чтобы открыть настройки панели управления , показанные непосредственно ниже.
- Нажмите Изменить настройки адаптера, чтобы открыть свои подключения, как показано ниже.
- Затем щелкните правой кнопкой мыши Адаптер TAP-Windows и выберите Отключить .
- Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши TAP-Windows Adapter и выберите Enable, чтобы перезапустить адаптер.
4. Переустановите и обновите драйвер TAP-Windows
Если перезапуск адаптера не помогает, попробуйте переустановить драйвер TAP-Windows. Для этого сначала откройте диспетчер устройств, чтобы удалить адаптер, нажав клавишу Windows + горячую клавишу X.
- Выберите Диспетчер устройств, чтобы открыть окно в кадре прямо ниже.
- Дважды щелкните Сетевые адаптеры, чтобы развернуть список сетевых адаптеров.
- Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши TAP-Windows Adapter и выберите « Удалить устройство» .
- Теперь откройте эту страницу OpenVPN в вашем браузере .
- Прокрутите страницу до конца и нажмите tap-windows-9.21.2.exe, чтобы загрузить последнюю версию драйвера TAP (NDIS 6) для OpenVPN. Драйвер NDIS 5 предназначен для Windows XP.
- Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши исполняемый файл TAP-Windows и выберите « Запуск от имени администратора».
- Перезагрузите Windows после установки драйвера.
Ничего не происходит, когда вы нажимаете на Запуск от имени администратора? Не волнуйтесь, у нас есть правильное решение для вас.
5. Проверьте, работает ли служба DHCP
« Последовательность инициализации завершена с ошибками » — это еще одно сообщение об ошибке, которое может открыться для некоторых пользователей OpenVPN. Если это сообщение об ошибке открывается для вас, проверьте, что служба DHCP работает.
Вы можете запустить службу DHCP следующим образом:
- Введите «services.msc» в «Выполнить» и нажмите кнопку « ОК» .
- Прокрутите вниз до DHCP-клиента, показанного на снимке ниже.
- Дважды щелкните DHCP-клиент, чтобы открыть окно его свойств.
- Выберите « Автоматически» в раскрывающемся меню «Тип запуска».
- Затем нажмите кнопку « Начать обслуживание».
- Если DHCP-клиент уже запущен, нажмите кнопки « Стоп» и « Пуск», чтобы перезапустить его.
- Нажмите кнопку Применить и ОК .
6. Очистите DNS
Различные ошибки подключения могут быть связаны с повреждением кэша DNS. Таким образом, очистка кеша DNS может стать потенциальным исправлением для OpenVPN. Вот как вы можете очистить DNS в Windows 10.
- Откройте меню Win + X с помощью клавиши Windows + X.
- Нажмите Командная строка (Администратор) в меню Win + X.
- Введите следующие команды отдельно в окне подсказки:
интерфейс netsh ip удалить arpcache
- Закройте командную строку и перезапустите Windows.
7. Сброс Winsock
Сброс поврежденных настроек TCP / IP Winsock также может исправить сообщения об ошибках OpenVPN. Для этого введите «Командная строка» в поле поиска Кортаны.
- Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши Командную строку и выберите Запуск от имени администратора, чтобы открыть ее.
- Затем введите «netsh int ip reset logfile.txt» в командной строке и нажмите клавишу Enter.
- Войдите в каталог сброса netsh winsock и нажмите кнопку возврата.
- Перезагрузите ваш рабочий стол или ноутбук.
Некоторые из этих решений могут исправить ошибки инициализации клиента OpenVPN в Windows 10. Ознакомьтесь с этой статьей, где приведены некоторые более общие советы по исправлению VPN-подключений.

OpenVPN GUI «Connection to management interface failed» error for domain user, with no local admin privileges #332
Client = OpenVPN GUI 11.14.0.0/2.4.8 (config and installer generated by pfSense client export plugin)
Server = OpenVPN on up-to-date pfSense
OS = Windows 10 Pro, feature pack 1803
Laptop = Lenovo ThinkPad E550
- User is a domain user with no local admin privileges
- OpenVPN GUI launches on Windows startup
- Config file and TLS key are located at C:Program FilesOpenVPNconfig
- OpenVPN Interactive Service is set to Automatic and is running
- OpenVPNService and OpenVPN Legacy Service are disabled
Issue Description
Sometimes, when double clicking on the OpenVPN GUI, the error message «Connecting to management interface failed» is displayed and no VPN connection is established. However, sometimes the VPN connects normally.
My work pc uses openvpn gui and I’ve been randomly having this issue pop up. It will persist for several hours and then randomly I can connect again with seemingly no prompt on either end of the issue. We initially thought it was a firewall issue and turned off the firewall, adjusted the firewall settings, reset the firewall, etc.I attempted to append the config file with the —askpass setting, but I believe I may have entered it incorrectly into the file (if this is indeed a solution, it would be helpful to know how to correctly format it)
I am using openvpn gui 11.25.0.0
Here is the error that pops up:
