Hello David, > The solution we've ended up with is a OpenVPN service helper which runs > some code parts with admin rights and the OpenVPN binary itself > (openvpn.exe) will run completely unprivileged.

Why named pipes? Why don't extend this http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/79-management-interface.html that it works without admin privileges? > The time of complaining will come to an end with 2.3 :) Heiko > demonstrated his prototype at FOSDEM a few weeks ago.
