Client reconnect after loss of connection?

Debian Linux and openvpn 2.5.1-3

Questions:

1) If I set up a client connection always-on as a service via the
/etc/openvpn/client dir, will it connect on boot? Or will it fail because there
is no network at that time yet so one needs to put a delay somewhere?

2) If it has connected and for some reason the connection goes down, will it try
to reconnect indefinitely?
The outage might be only a minute or two when for example the server has been
restarted for some reason.
Or it can be a lot longer if the server site or an intervening network link has
a longer power outage.
