A *tar* file is a container, that contains files plus header information.
So "just unzipping the tar file" will never create a valid OpenVPN config.
It might work by unzipping a plain text file on-the fly, using the right
shell variant that can do this sort of redirect.
But as said earlier, the benefits of using gzip'ed config files is minimal,
given that the files are so small anyway.
