Hello!
After updating to latest Viscosity (1.5.1) it is unable to establish tunnel at all until rebooted.
Here is the log from Details -> "Logs?" tab:

The OpenVPN subsystem could not be started. Please check the following:
- Check for any error messages above this notification.

Hi ikseek,

We are working on this issue for the next beta that should be out in a few days. In the mean time, setting a small wake delay appears to resolve the problem. To do this, open up a Command Prompt or Run Dialog (Windows Key + R) and paste in the following:

"C:\Program Files\Viscosity\Viscosity.exe" SetPref ConnectOnWakeDelay 5

This will add a 5 second delay between your PC waking up and Viscosity attempting to reconnect and should resolve the issue.

Let us know how you go.

Regards,
Eric
