 no, the only i found to fix it was to do a fresh OS install. when i did
 that it worked for about a day, then just started giving the same message.
 When it did this, I had left it on over night and when i woke up it wasnt
 working. did not even have openvpn installed on computer after fresh OS
 install. could there have been a connection problem overnight and
 something on my system or provider somehow blocked it to prevent errors or
 something?
