Windows 8 and OpenVPN client - doesn't make a true, successful
connection (can't ping, etc). Typically the log file will show
something like this: "Route: Waiting for TUN/TAP interface to come
up..."
first, be sure to run the gui as Administrator (shortcut properties
"Advanced" button).
The fix is easy, just open the "Network and Sharing Center" (use the
search function if necessary). Just open it and leave it open -
nothing needs to be done inside it. You can minimize it and continue
to work. Disconnect/re-connect openvpn to test. Is strange, but
works - until the bugs in openvpn or the TAP driver is fixed.
