This version of OpenVPN fails with this message when trying to establish a VPN connection directly (i.e. _without_ using NetworkManager-openvpn): localhost.localdomain openvpn[2162]: Options error: --writepid fails with '/var/run/openvpn/vpn.pid': No such file or directory localhost.localdomain openvpn[2162]: Options error: Please correct these errors. /var/run contains only openvpn-client and openvpn-server directories. This looks like a bug in the OpenVPN systemd initialization file. Please fix ASAP.
