Do not start OpenVPN client automatically

I have a DD-WRT (linux/BusyBox) router with OpenVPN client. I use VPN
*sometimes*, but I do not want OpenVPN to persist or start automatically.
I want to start OpenVPN manually only, from the shell.

How do I configure/accomplish this?

Thx, Gus

this depends on how the dd-wrt/busybox setup is done, which is (slightly) off-topic for this forum.

OpenVPN does not start by itself; in most cases some /etc/init.d script gets executed at boot time, which read all /etc/openvpn/*.conf files and launches them.
