Hello! thank you for all your help :-)
Alberto's method worked very nicely. Although I dont like having the user/pass written like that unencrypted its the only solution I have found so far. Using the Network Manager was the first thing i tried but unfortunately there seems to be a bug there and you cannot save your password. Something to do with Ubuntu's Keychain system not liking openvpn. After alot of searching I managed to get it to work only when I leave the password empty and enter it manually. And as soon as I am being asked if the pass should be saved, to deny it. I also couldn't get Endians Nameserver to be pushed through, it worked with a windows client without a problem. My solution was to add the endian as a dns server in the clients config. Thank you!
