Well, if you're running the OpenVPN daemon as a user, the key needs to be accessible to the user as well; otherwise, how will the OpenVPN process read it?

Yes, I use GUI to control it, and indeed the process runs on my credentials... :(

Safer is to run OpenVPN as a service and use the management interface to start it up / provide a username and password / etc.

That's my goal, but I can't do it currently for I store my certs in a token... Still did not find a way to provide the token's password and key's RSA passphraze if OpenVPN is run as the service... :( :(
