Automating through terminal/node.js

[dead]

I'm trying to automate connecting to and disconnecting from different configs through my node.js app.
I'm doing this under an Arch Linux VM and I've done it on my Windows 10 and it all works fine.

So far I've done this through shell commands, disconnecting by `killall openvpn` and running my node app as sudo to connect with `openvpn —config ...config.ovpn —auth-user-pass ....auth.txt —log-append ...logfile.log`
This works so far and I'm able to connect to the VPN and confirm that I'm connected by checking my IP through ipinfo.io but many of the http requests my browser makes fail, I'm assuming this is related to this error I'm getting in my log file:
read UDPv4 [ENETUNREACH]: Network is unreachable (fd=3,code=101)

I'd appreciate any help on how I could get rid of this error and make the vpn connection work as good on my Arch Linux VM as it does on my Windows VM

Here are some things that may be helpful from my ovpn file:
