Apr 20 03:50:45 host systemd-tmpfiles[281]: Two or more conflicting lines for /run/openvpn configured, ignoring.

But since user tunnel has access to /var/run/openvpn, it should be alright.

Patrick claimed this task.

This is now documented including a fix for T460.

https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Tunnels/Connecting_to_Tor_before_a_VPN#Setup_Tor_before_a_VPN_.28User_-.3E_Tor_-.3E_VPN_-.3E_Internet.29

And tested.

However, the documentation doing this with openvpn including a fix for T460 ridiculously difficult. Perhaps bitmask would do a bettter job than openvpn, created T506 to figure that out.
