If you wish to avoid a reboot, the simplest solution is to manually alter
(as root) the attributes of the /dev/net/tun pseudo-file.  For example,

# chgrp netdev /dev/net/tun
# chmod 0660 /dev/net/tun

But of course, the attributes will revert to what they were before upon
the next reboot unless changes have been made to the 91-permissions.rules
file.
