Windows
User: "SurfBouncer connects but I cannot reach the internet."
Initialization sequence completed with errors
This is usually the result of
Windows Firewall or a 3rd party firewall that you may be
running, blocking the TAP adapter. If you are using a 3rd
party firewall, reference your user's manual on how to
allow programs to pass through. In some cases, there will
be a tab that lists programs that are allowed. Find OpenVPN and allow access.
For Windows Firewall, go to the
'Control Panel' and select 'Firewall' and then the 'Advanced'
tab. Select the connection that corresponds to your TAP
adapter. Uncheck the box next to it and select 'OK'.
Reboot your computer to ensure the setting takes effect.

If you don't know which connection
that is, go to 'Control Panel' and select 'Network
Connections'. Your TAP adapter will be listed as shown
below.

One other possibility for this error is that the Windows
DHCP client service is not set to start on your
computer.
In Control Panel (1) /
Administrative Tools (2) /
Services (3), make sure
that the DHCP Client Service is started. See the image
below. If it is not started right click and start the
service.
