      I did not have to specify to run as administrator, I have UAC turned off and my account is an Admin account.

        Ah, ok. Having UAC off is probably why that worked for you then.

          @jimp:

          Did you still have to run the client as Administrator with that? Or did it give a UAC prompt?

          Normally the client works as-is but you have to run it as administrator.

          Wrt to the UAC issue, you might want to check

            Try the Securepoint client (securepoint.cc); that runs the ovpn daemon as a service, so no UAC shenanigans, and a reasonable GUI too.

              I just added the OpenVPN 2.3 beta to the export package (you can choose 2.2 or 2.3 now) and the 2.3 install does not produce a UAC prompt on my Win 7 box, and it does add the routes.

                I created the OpenVPN Installer package 2.3beta on pfsense 2.0.1 i386 and using it on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and adding the routes is NOT working without admin rights.

                  Try uninstalling OpenVPN completely first - old and new versions - then reinstall just the 2.3 beta.

                          So that's saying it's trying to add a route that already exists.

                          Sure you're connecting to the right VPN? From a location that isn't behind the firewall you're using for the VPN?

                          The old failure with UAC was different, it mentioned something about lacking permissions or rights.

                            I am trying this from at home behind my home router.

                            When I connect to the VPN server the connection will be established - the systray icon turns into green. But "netstat -rn" does not show me additional routes - just the route for the tunnel network.

                            When I run the OpenVPN client with admin rights the routes will be added.

                            But when I run it with admin rights I got a similar error message:

                            
                            Wed Oct 03 21:17:58 2012 Successful ARP Flush on interface [50] {FBDB3111-D2E3-4899-A765-87EAFB843546}
                            Wed Oct 03 21:18:03 2012 ROUTE: route addition failed using CreateIpForwardEntry: The object still exists.ย   [status=5010 if_index=50]
                            Wed Oct 03 21:18:03 2012 env_block: add PATH=C:\Windows\System32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
                            Wed Oct 03 21:18:03 2012 Initialization Sequence Completed
                            
                            

                            But then I can connect to the pfsense server and to the LAN clients behind pfsense.
