Newbie OpenVPN Question/Problem


I've following this guide here http://readwrite.com/2014/04/10/rasp...e-web-browsing to create a VPN.

If I run openvpn as root, I can connect and it seems to work fine (as far as I've tested it so far), but as a normal user I get the following error:
Code:
Fri Oct 17 12:58:42 2014 OpenVPN 2.3.2 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [eurephia] [MH] [IPv6] built on Feb  4 2014
Fri Oct 17 12:58:45 2014 WARNING: this configuration may cache passwords in memory -- use the auth-nocache option to prevent this
Fri Oct 17 12:58:45 2014 Control Channel Authentication: tls-auth using INLINE static key file
Fri Oct 17 12:58:45 2014 UDPv4 link local: [undef]
Fri Oct 17 12:58:45 2014 UDPv4 link remote: [AF_INET]IP:1194
Fri Oct 17 12:58:46 2014 [ownCloud] Peer Connection Initiated with [AF_INET]IP:1194
Fri Oct 17 12:58:48 2014 ERROR: Cannot ioctl TUNSETIFF tun: Operation not permitted (errno=1)
Fri Oct 17 12:58:48 2014 Exiting due to fatal error
I've tried to solve this myself and all I found so far was to add myself to the group 'netdev' and reboot which didn't solve it.

I've not even started trying to get this working in Network Manager. The OK button remains greyed out.

Thanks!
