To disconnect the simple way is to find the PID through openvpn3 sessions-list
In this example the PID is 173134, so kill the command with sudo: sudo kill -9 PID
Usually the first call to openvpn3 sessions-list will show there is no info about the session, will clean it and next time is called it will show there is no session
