Trouble with command line VPN tun/tap permission denied

Hi, I interested to try beta VPN with my CyberGhost Premium VPN service provider. I have Jolla phone with 2.0.1.11. First I tried to establish a connection with Settings VPN UI but my try immediately failed. Did manually set cert, client, key and ovpn paths to correct locations. I do have username and password configuration which does not work from UI. Nevertheless what settings I change, "ask password if needed" / "read from file", I don't get a credentials prompt.

So I looked what happens under the openvpn hood. Here is openvpn command line as a regular nemo user:

openvpn --config path to .ovpn file username: password:

Unless if you try as root user the connection from command line will establish!

Has my /dev/net/tun file permission (chmod 640) correct values?
