OpenVPN+GUI (openvpn-2.0.9-gui-1.0.3) in client mode will connect to the remote OpenVPN server, but will not accept the routes. Error in the log is as follows:
ROUTE: route addition failed using CreateIpForwardEntry: One or more arguments are not correct. [if_index=18]
Route addition via IPAPI failed
Solution:
add the following to the end of the configuration (ovpn) file:
route-method exe
route-delay 2

Tried it – added
route-method exe
route-delay 2
to the ovpn config file … and still am not able to get online using Witopia ovpn sw.
Suggestions?

Hi MG, after adding “route-method exe” and “route-delay 2″ to my config, the above error is gone – thank you – although I still cannot rdp the VPN site – doing the same under XP it works – Windows 7 is a problem.
Please help.

Find OpenVPN GUI icon, press shift, right click on icon and select “Run as administrator”. Now works perfect!

I use windows 7 and i don’t have this problem.. maybe because my accout has administrative rights.

Whole day of trying and then: google found solution. Thanks MG.
openvpn 2.1.1 was supposed to fix this problem. Unfortunately it didn’t.
Thanks again.

Windows Vista needs Open VPN GUI to run as administrator… so right-click openvpn GUI and select ‘run as administrator’ and you should be fine.

I’m trying to use this fix on a vista laptop – but when I right click on openvpn the “run as administrator” check-box is greyed out. I’ve tried switching off UAC but it didnt do anything.
