Brandon, you could probably workaround that limitation in 2 different
ways. First would be to install the "network-manager-openvpn" package if
not already done and use it to import and connect to your VPN. Second
would be to make sure the VPN is marked for autostart in
/etc/default/openvpn.

Marking as Invalid as OpenVPN requires privileges when it starts (to
create a network device, assign an IP to it and add routes). The
network-manager-openvpn package is a good way to connect to your VPN
with a regular user.

** Changed in: openvpn (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
