This USED to work
Power on Macbook or resume from suspended
Already installed is OpenVPN Connect
Its already in the login items on startup
I start the client GUI - OK
I start my session - Not okay
I download latest client from Internet
I install the .dmg for Apple Silicon
I dont reboot
I start my session - WORKS
So if I ever reboot or suspend the system and then try to start my session - FAILS
In other words, to get it working I need to reinstall the software and not reboot.

NOW as of Tuesday July 31st this workaround stopped working !!!
I'm desperate to get into my target servers as I'm remote for next week.
I tried all the above steps multiple times but non of my target VPN servers work.
I could reason that that one server is down, but all of them unlikely!
macos is ventura 13.5 and OpenVPN Connect is at 4547

I note that ovpnagent is not running so from this posting viewtopic.php?t=35116
I did this command in a non root terminal window
sudo /Library/Frameworks/OpenVPNConnect.framework/Versions/Current/usr/sbin/ovpnagent
this is displayed before the GUI starts in terminal window
