Greetings, Corinna Vinschen!

>   alias vpnupwin='cd /cygdrive/c/home/sva/config; openvpn --config client.vpn --writepid /cygdrive/c/cygwin/tmp/openvpn.pid &'

Moreover, the very first line is wrong.

Must be

alias vpnup='exec sudo openvpn --config $HOME/config/client.vpn --writepid /tmp/openvpn.pid &'

that's where his problem began, IMO.
