If you do that, you deserve all the havoc that happens to you - OpenVPN
takes quite some effort to return routing table state etc. to what it
was before connecting, and if you kill -9 it, garbage will be left in
your system. *Some* systems will nicely auto-clean stale routes pointing
to a stale tun interface on exit, others will need manual cleanup or
a reboot to recover.
Make it a habit to never ever use "kill -9" unless you have tried all
other ways (-HUP, -INTR, -TERM) and none work.
