[blfs-support] Openvpn client failing at startup

[DJ Lucas via blfs-support]

Hi   I know VPN is not covered in BLFS, but I'm hoping someone can
help here.   This appears a systemd problem with chroot?  I don't
understand.   When starting the service file for the openvpn client I
get:  

Do you need to chroot in your VPN config? Does the same conf work when
started manually? This is an openvpn-client error, so probably need to
examine the client log. systemd is only reporting the error that the
client throws.

Not that I'm aware of. E.g.

remote uk-man.privatevpn.com 1194 udp
nobind
dev tun

# Options
tun-ipv6
remote-cert-tls server
client
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
verb 3

# Crypto
cipher AES-128-GCM
auth SHA256
auth-user-pass

Does the same conf work when started manually?

Yes, E.g. openvpn --config PrivatVPN-UK-Manchester-TUN-1194.ovpn

This is an openvpn-client error, so probably need to
examine the client log.

Ok. Will go on the look. Not in usual place.

Thanks
