Can openvpn (client) be setup completely sandboxed/no-root? Anyone have links to a guide for doing so?

To clarify: setting up interfaces/routes as root is no problem, but I don't want any of the protocol/transport/etc. code running as root.

Ok, sure then. It talks out a high port and needs to access a device, so nothing else would require root.

Is there a guide anywhere on setting it up this way?

not off hand. I did it a long time ago, just need to setup the capabilities right to allow dev access

Ideally the invoking process would open /dev/net/tun and pass it in after dropping root.

In existing configurations I've seen it wants root to setup if addr/route/etc. after connecting.

What I'd really want is to just pick a fake local ip and the networks I want to route, and have the vpn client nat-in-userspace.

The threat model is a compromised remote injecting malicious network configuration to client.
