Tasker plugin for OpenVPN Connect (Android)

I have installed and am using OpenVPN Connect (Android) on my LG Intuition VS-950 Jelly Bean phone to secure my communications when I am connected at a public WiFi hot spot. I am happy with the app, but at present using it is a manual process.

I have installed Tasker on my phone as well and am hoping to use it to automate several things. One of them would be to automate use of OpenVPN Connect (Android) by opening the tunnel automatically when I am successfully connected to a WiFi hot spot other than my home network and to close the tunnel automatically when such a connection is dropped.

The easiest way to accomplish this would be from a tasker plugin. There is in fact a plugin available for this, but it works only with the OpenVPN for Android app.

Given that OpenVPN Connect (Android) is the official version I would prefer to use it as opposed to replacing it with another app, especially as I see some problem reports with the other app.

Is there a possibility of adding a Tasker plugin to this app? I may be able to do what I want without one, but it will certainly take more time and effort to do so.
