Hello Nathan
Thanks for the extra stuff and info
_.______
I have tried the two "tcp" config files from your last EMail,
Firstly I tried on one of my Vista machines, ( Acer Arpire lap top 4810TZG ) https://imgur.com/f8ni8KI
( That is using OpenVPN 2 3 18-I001 , TAP-Windows 9 9 2 https://build.openvpn.net/downloads/releases/openvpn-install-2.3.18-I001-i686.exe )
Both were successful connections, (and the internet works with the connections): https://imgur.com/Y6eI6Ar , https://imgur.com/sQ1FoCS
( During the Netherlands tcp connection I was asked for a Username and Password. The berlin tcp connection did not ask for a Username and Password ).
Just out of interest here are some more results:

My results are consistent with your comments about OpenVPN client versions and configuration files.

I have download and made a back up of all the current Windows OpenVPN config files from the hide.me Members area.
_.______________________-
I have a Question: How will the new config files that you are developing effect my use of SoftEther on my older systems?
_._______________________-
Regarding the two SoftEther downloads that you suggested that I try. I have tried them on my Vista computers. All download OK. The results from attempting to run them are as follows:
¬ _ https://www.softether-download.com/files/softether/v4.22-9634-beta-2016.11.27-tree/Windows/SoftEther_VPN_Server_and_VPN_Bridge/softether-vpnserver_vpnbridge-v4.22-9634-beta-2016.11.27-windows-x86_x64-intel.exe
The above downloaded file runs OK on all my Vista Computers.

The above downloaded file will only run on one of my Vista computers. On two of my Vista Computers, it will not run. ( one of those two computers is the computer which would also not run the latest SoftEther Client exe file)
( I broke off the instillations shortly after they started as I was not sure what they are supposed to do. ( Currently I have a working SoftEther version on all my Vista computers. Most have the SoftEther VPN Client Build 9696. The one that I had to use an older exe file to install has SoftEther VPN Client Build 9634 ) )

XP Issure…
Back to the XP / SoftEther remaining issue.
( This is the issue whereby it appears that a connection will give a working internet only once at approximately a couple of day intervals. Attempts more often than that at a dis connection / connection, appear to be successful, but the internet will not work
