It probably is. I had the same problem - a "vpn to home" that doesn't
need to run when at home.

My solution: Firewalling rules on the server-side endpoint, that
rejects VPN connections from inside the network.  Thus, my openvpn
service on my laptop can run constantly, but the VPN will only
actually connect when I'm _not_ at home.

Hope this helps
