The problem seems to appear every now and then. So, I'm using Windows 10, OpenVPN version 2.4.7. My client config looks like that

dev tun
client
nobind

pkcs12 "MyCompany-Kolya-Ivankov.p12"

remote vpn.mycompany.com
remote vpn.mycompany.com 1195

cipher XYZ-256-DEF
comp-lzo

When I run OpenVPN GUI, it gives me an IP of the form 10.16.X.YZ, and I see this IP in the IPv4 route table when I type route print. Pings to this ip go through successfully. However, when I type this IP in windows remote desktop, it informs me that the remote computer is either switched off or similar stuff.

What do I possibly do wrong?
