That's exactly why I got confused. Shouldn't it be possible to just "tie" openvpn to _any_ network interface? It's especially weird how it just magically defaults to the wifi interface (it is in runlevel default, but still).

There's a section titled "Be wary of 'need net' > dependencies" that covers the issue. That does look like it addresses the issue. I'll try and poke around in there. Thanks! -- Regards, Christoph
