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).  Very unclear imo.

That does look like it addresses the issue.  I'll try and poke around
in there.

Thanks!
