running openvpn client as non-root user?



Hello,

I have just finished installing openvpn server on my router machine
running Debian Testing.

For now I can connect from a client machine using openvpn client but
only as a root user (or by using sudo). The client is an Ubuntu machine.

Since I am new to all this openvpn stuff, I have a few basic questions
regarding the clients:
Do all clients need to run openvpn client command as root or by using sudo?
If not, then what is the right way to do so as a non-root user?
If yes, then what is the best way to go about it? Do I set up sudo for
all users to be able to use openvpn command without having to sudo
explicitly?

Thanks.
