I think the goal can in most cases be achieved using SSH port forwarding -

The problem with all of these alternatives (at least in my case) is
that the other end is already running OpenVPN, not one of the other
tools. Right now, there aren't a lot of good ways to connect to
somebody's OpenVPN service without running as root. Prior to this
work I had been using separate VMs.
Are there any changes you could suggest that would make this feature
more palatable?
You could look at the TARGET_ANDROID. That uses the management interface
and fds over unix socket to achieve something similar.
