William: OpenVPN on Windows 8.x is not working 100% -- primarily the routes are not created after the connection is established... known issue to Sophos and OpenVPN Devs (I've submitted case info, etc. to Sophos regarding this). There is a workaround; simply opening the Network Interfaces control panel applet on Windows, prior to establishing the SSL connection, will "refresh" the adapters and allow the VPN to create routes. It sounds completely weird as a workaround, but it does work.
I've not been told of any ETA as to a permanent fix; I suspect they are waiting on the OpenVPN folks to fix the Windows VPN Adapter driver.
