I have my doubts if this is a good way forward.
This warning will be printed on *every single startup* on OpenVPN now.
Is this useful? Or will people just ignore it. Like, "all of a sudden
my Tunnelblick shows some giberrish in red at me, but the VPN is working,
so let's just ignore all warnings now".
I can see that we want to tell users, but every single time, forever?
