Am I missing something or is there a way around this? > with the current release (OpenVPN 2.3) the generic answer is "yes admin privileges are necessary". With the upcoming 2.4 release the need for admin privileges have somewhat been decreased (a new interactive service takes over the part of needing admin privileges). There is little to be done about this, as Windows *requires* admin privileges if someone tries to alter the system routing tables. As most VPNs typically do just that, you will always end up needing admin privs somewhere. Complain to Microsoft about their horrendous security system, not to OpenVPN.
