I am using Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit) and OpenVPN client software, openvpn-install-2.3.2-I003-x86_64.exe

I tried to connect to the VPN server in Spain and below was the error log:

Since I was unable to connect to the VPN server in Spain, I tried to connect to other VPN servers. I was unable to.

What I did next was to log in to the "Client Area" of this website on clicked on the "Disconnect now" button. I logged out of the website.

I launched OpenVPN client software again and this time I was able to connect to any one of the VPN servers.

Could technical support explain the above strange behavior? It had happened to me before.
