Obtendo “Não é possível ioctl TUNSETIFF tun: operação não permitida” ao tentar se conectar ao OpenVPN

Estou tentando configurar um servidor de acesso OpenVPN na AWS usando a AMI do mercado, mas estou lutando para me conectar a ele.

O servidor de acesso está em funcionamento. Também adicionei um usuário com o Login automático e gerei a configuração e os certificados relevantes do cliente.

Copiei esses arquivos para a minha máquina e tentei conectar usando, openvpn client.ovpnmas obtive a seguinte saída e erro,

Alguma ideia sobre qual é o problema? Suponho que está falhando ao criar o túnel devido à linha de erro?

Estou executando a versão 2.0.10 do servidor e a versão cliente,

Parece que isso é uma simples questão de sudo.

sudo openvpn client.ovpn trabalhou um tratamento.

Usando o Linux Mint e conectando-se através da interface do usuário do Network Manager (que não solicita um sudo pwd) - presumi que não era necessário. Acontece que este foi o problema para mim! Ligar através sudode um terminal funcionou perfeitamente.
