people usually do not understand what does mean

"Thu Sep 15 19:18:04 2016 All TAP-Windows adapters on this system are currently in use."

we should rework UI here

This is log message from openvpn.exe not from the UI.

I am working on a patch for openvpn that supports automatic creation of tap devnode if all adaptors are in use. If that works out well, this will become a rare error.

sure, it comes from openvpn.exe but it depends on GUI how to represent it.

well, I agree that automatic creation seems to be good. there's also a way to make tap adapter invisible (it prevent people from disabling it)

@selvanair , any progress on that patch ? we are hit by this issue again and again

(I played a bit with SoftEtherVPN, I found their approach very nice, named tap adapter is created for every connection)
