Hi, my apologies in advance, but I am having some problems with this on Windows 10 64 bit.

I have put the plugin into the "config" file of OpenVPN, and the line of
plugin fix-dns-leak-64.dll into the config.

However the plug in fails:
PLUGIN_CALL: POST fix-dns-leak-64.dll/PLUGIN_UP status=1

Any suggestions? I appreciate this is likely my mistake!

Please run it in the console, it should write debug information.

So, @JezzaInSingapore, could you provide additional information?

Thanks, I have found the problem and it is now hugely obvious... but this might be useful to others.

First of all my VPN provider suggested that I disable IPv6. This was unnecessary. What I noticed was even though explicit paths were being given, Windows 10 was not loading the plugin.

It came down to a simple fix. Right click the OpenVPN GUI icon, select properties, advanced and click on Run As Administrator.

This fixed everything and it works great! Thank you.
