  Sounds like two compounding problems:
  1. the default logging place for the runit supervision tree is the same
terminal you're using to log in
  2. there is no dedicated logger for the openvpn service.

  IIRC, 1. is intrinsic to runit, there is no way to redirect the default
logging, and that means your console is at the mercy of verbose services
-
so every service needs a dedicated logger.
  You can use --syslog as a workaround indeed, but 2. should be fixed: a
runit service should use the runit logging facility. That is something
you should report and suggest to the maintainer of the openvpn service
in Artix.
