What's wrong with it? have I done something stupid? Any ideas?
 
Are you running openvpn.exe as an administrator ?
 
It's a log from RT-AC68U, I've forgot to say. :)
 
There currently isn't full support for IPv6 across the VPN tunnel. Try disabling IPv6 for client2.
 
Can't disable IPv6, sever pushing ipv6 options to me. Disabling ipv6 in router configuration leads to error in openvpn client adding tun interface:

OK..let's try this....re-enable IPv6, then telnet/ssh to the router and enter

ip6tables -I INPUT -i tun12 -j ACCEPT
ip6tables -I FORWARD -i tun12 -j ACCEPT
