The Problem is that I read STDIN and STDOUT of OpenVPN. To do this, I
have to run my Application at least with the same rights as OpenVPN.
OpenVPN has to run as admin to control the routes and the Tap-Device. So
my application has a problem.

If somebody knows a solution how to run a program as administrator and
read STDIN and STDOUT without having administrator rights he is welcome :-)
