Several users at our company just upgraded Viscosity to 1.7.13, and when now trying to connect to our VPN-server the clients immediately just say "Disconnected".
I have sniffed traffic in the network and can see that no traffic goes from their computers to our VPN-server at all.

This occurres in both win7 and win10 workstations.

Connection log shows this:
Jan 15 10:59:52: State changed to Connecting
Jan 15 10:59:52: Viscosity Windows 1.7.13 (1587)
Jan 15 10:59:52: Running on Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Jan 15 10:59:52: Running on .NET Framework Version 4.7.03056.461808

The OpenVPN subsystem could not be started. Please check the following:
- Check for any error messages above this notification.
- Ensure ViscosityService is running.
- Make sure the configuration is valid

Hi Alex,

Thanks again for the bug report. Viscosity 1.7.13 (1588) is now available via automatic updates and will resolve this issue. If you do not see the update after clicking Check for Updates in Preferences -> General, you may need to exit and then restart Viscosity and try Check for Updates again.

Regards,
Eric
