Viscosity disconnects immediately after connecting

Having problems here.

I am running the latest Viscosity client (uninstalled and reinstalled on Windows 7 tonight) and as soon as the client connects they get disconnected.

If I export a zipped config file from the problem client and import in to OSX running latest Viscosity client for Mac it works fine. I know tis not a problem with the server or openvpn config file.

Hi illum007,

Please edit the configuration and go to the Advanced tab. There, on a new line, add:

verb 5

Save the connection and then reconnect, hopefully this will give us some more information as to what is going on.

Please also check the event viewer for any reports from openvpn or Viscosity.

Regards,
Eric

I am experiencing a similar problem. But with only one particular connection. I have tried to re-create the connection twice and the only thing that seems to work is to reboot or exiting the Viscosity app and starting it up again. my 5 other connections work fine.

Here is the connection log:

Hi miqueltango,

It looks like you've found a bug in the connection editor, we will get this fixed in a new beta as soon as possible, please keep an eye out for 1.7.1 Beta4 in the next few hours - http://sparklabs.com/support/kb/article ... -versions/
