I am getting this error "Temporary directory (--tmp-dir) fails with '_file path_': No such file or directory" Is there anything I can do?

Note: For an easier setup and experience, download the OVPN app for Windows.

This error occurs when the username of your Windows account username contains special or unusual characters, such as Russian characters.

Solutions

Uninstall your current OpenVPN version. Download the latest OpenVPN version.

All done!

The error message should not appear again. Try reconnecting to OVPN.
