Expected results:

just work

Additional info:

the server config is:
"""
dev tun
ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2
secret /etc/openvpn/static.key
"""

btw. it works if I use "/usr/sbin/openvpn --config .openvpn/client.conf" as
superuser and this config:
"""
remote 192.168.200.98
dev tun
ifconfig 10.8.0.2 10.8.0.1

I think my problems are the same as this guy has:
