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(a)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?
