Thanks for your response. But that's essentially what I do. I can see if vpn is active. If it isn't I run the script. (I do run KDE, incidentally.)
I don't get from what you said if your process is a manual or automatic process. Which?
But surely there should be a way of enabling this service, as there used to be? Wouldn't it be much simpler just to default to client, which I imagine is what 99% of users want? Why can't openvpn run like every other service?
I may have misunderstood....but your openvpn@client.service brings up a tunnel, right? I've never tried getting the client side to create a tunnel on login. Is it safe to say that the tunnel is created on system boot?
