Not really.  Well, of course you can put a "disable" into the ccd, but
then it will receive an AUTH_FAIL and not retry.

... what you could do: make that switch control the corresponding ccd/ file,
and have the "push 'redirect-gateway'" (and/or "push 'route...'") commands
in there.

So the OpenVPN would always be "connected", but only if he wants to watch
"remote geoloc TV", he would receive pushed routes to send packets your
way...   (and then you'd need to bump the session, as you cannot currently
change pushed routes in the middle of a session - well, strictly you can,
but this needs the management interface to trigger on the server, and the
behaviour is not exactly well-defined).
