I had this same issue, and solved it by including the line from Chris in
my rc.local file (sudo pkill openvpn), and making a keyboard shortcut in
dom0 to re-run rc.local in my VPN VM.

The command that you want to bind your keyboard shortcut is as follows:

qvm-run -u root sys-vpn "/rw/config/rc.local"

Change sys-vpn to the name of your VPN VM.

This all assumes you followed the iptables and CLI scripts section of
the Qubes VPN docs: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vpn/

That section also sets up VPN as soon as your VPN VM launches and
prevents any non-VPN traffic from leaking so I highly recommend it!
