I belive you can do thia if you are on Linux and are using the latest openvpn:

Put the config.ovpn file in /etc/openvpn/client, then it will connect in the
background once you enable the new service.

sudo systemctl enable openvpn-client@config
sudo systemctl start openvpn-client@config
sudo systemctl stop openvpn-client@config
sudo systemctl disable openvpn-client@config

(You might want to name the file something other than "config" so you know to
where it connects when used.
