...Also note that OpenVPN must be installed and run by a user who has administrative privileges (this restriction is imposed by Windows, not OpenVPN). The restriction can be sidestepped by running OpenVPN in the background as a service, in which case even non-admin users will be able to access the VPN, once it is installed...
Running it as a non-admin user gets messy and the virtual TAP device still needs to be installed to be used.
...since the virtual TAP device needs to be installed in Windows to be used by OpenVPN.
