Our current openvpn systemd service use After=network.target. Openvpn provides host network configuration and should be started before the network target.
Some poor coded software (like bind) use by interface listening mode (instead of wildcard) and rely that all interface are up (openvpn tun too).

So I suggest to replace

After=network.target

by

Before=network.target
Wants=network.target

Cheers,
