OpenVPN would need to be a switch. That means scanning ARPs, learning MAC
addresses, propagating broadcasts, etc.

OpenVPN doesn't need to be run from a console window (otherwise running as a
service wouldn't work). OpenVPN tries to open the console, but if it doesn't
exist, it is nonfatal -- OpenVPN will continue to run. It does, however, want
the standard file handles (especially stdout) to point to something so it can
generate logging output.
