      hi Guys,
      I have the OpenVPN server running on a remote server.  with a public IP of lets say 99.0.0.1 (fake)  I am at home on a Public Ip of 80.0.0.1.  When I connect to my openvpn server and check my public IP address from any website it still shows me at home 80.0.0.1.  Any know gotcha's that I should look at?

        Issue was so simple.  I needed to run openVPN in windows with admin rights.  Routes are now pushed and its working

          Well you don't really need to run as admin  if you install the service part. Just FYI.

            You mean the management interface? Well, I have yet to find a box where it works (as opposed to just confusing itself with config file locations and making itself completely no-op).
