Headless openvpn client on windows?

Question

I'm looking for a client that can be run as an openvpn client but either headless or only in console. Reason being that I want to wrap a GUI application around it. I know that OpenVPN has the management tool that you can use telnet to access, but I don't want any sort of front end for my client except what I'm providing myself.

I've been looking around online and I can't seem to find any sort of starting point to help me with this.

Found the actual openvpn client binary and ran it via CLI, turns out you can just run openvpn.exe --config file and then monitor the STDOUT of the process.
