Yes, this is a problem. For OpenBSD to talk to Windows over OpenVPN, we need either a tun driver for Windows or a tap driver for OpenBSD. My guess is that the easier and better solution would be to solve the tap on OpenBSD problem, rather than the tun on Windows problem. My understanding is that a tap driver exists for OpenBSD that was ported from FreeBSD, but that it's still in an experimental, somewhat unfinished state and needs a good kernel hacker to bring it up to the standard of the rest of the OpenBSD networking subsystem. I think that Windows users are going to prefer a tap interface anyways, because it carries the kind of traffic and protocols which Windows applications generate, such as broadcast traffic and non-IP protocols.
