SparkySam wroteroute addition failed using CreateIpForwardEntry: Access is denied

Using the OpenVPN-GUI on W7/8/10 etc ..

Being logged in as administrator is not sufficient for OpenVPN to work.
You must select OpenvpnGUI.exe and <right-click>:"Run As Administrator" ..

This is a security measure imposed by Microsoft not OpenVPN.
