He asked me what the error message was using the gui
my response
the gui only works for 209, later versions wont work.
there is no error message, i will try to explain this
When using a gui that works like 209 for windows 8 or the newest one with windows 7, or anyone with a working the gui
the following happens
on any normal working gui
enter login and password
wait a few seconds
then the gui where it says under login "connect using" your default login loads up and also give you a drop down menu to select another server and the button to connect is operational.
In my situation
always run as administrator
enter password and login
and then nothing happens, the gui where it says "connect using" is left blank, nothing shows up at all, no default sever, no drop down menu, nothing at all,
therefore no error message or log, because the program wont do anything after the login password is entered. everything is left greyed out.
considerations
I have been using 209 on the windows 8 for streaming and on my laptop windows 7 latest gui for p2p
Is there anyway to get the latest gui working on windows 8 ?
Is running the 209 gui on the windows 8 machine cause any security issues like ip leakage?
Is running the open source openvpn an option? (i really have no idea how to do this though)
thanks for reading!
