I noticed it saying in the log I have windows NT, but I have windows 7 home premium sp1.

 

Hello,

 

Windows NT 6.1 has been assigned various marketing names, including "Windows 7" in seven different "flavors". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT#Releases

 

About the logs, we see this issue:

. 2015.02.02 11:14:25 - OpenVPN > RESOLVE: Cannot resolve host address: localhost: The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found.

 

Can you please make sure that in your hosts file you have this entry:

 

127.0.0.1 localhost

 

If it's not there, please add it. If you need support to edit the hosts file please see here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/27350/beginner-geek-how-to-edit-your-hosts-file

 

Kind regards

Thanks
