    so annoyed rn an OpenVPN client is broken on my gaming PC.

    USB Audio Device Properties

    USB Audio Device Properties
Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

    it connects, shows a green status, but no traffic flows, disconnect and the internet works normally. the only change was teh network driver update from ASUS.. 🙏 i have deadlines and Im currently working off my phone hotspot on another devcie... whats the quickest way to diagnose this? im comfortable running a few commands and reading logs, i just dont know which ones matter here. seriously need help here 😭

    roll back the physical network driver in Device Manager > Properties > Driver > Roll Back Driver. if the VPN starts working, report the issue to teh dirver vendor and ur IT department with the driver version. lmk how it goes

    MTU problems look exactly like "connected but nothing loads"... test with ping <internal host> -f -l 1300 and lower teh size until it works... if small packets pass and big ones dont, teh VPN client may need a lower MTU setting.
