Use the Openvpn supported systemd unit files: * For servers: openvpn-server@.service * For clients: openvpn-client@.service Place your server openvpn config files in: /etc/openvpn/server Place your client openvpn config files is: /etc/openvpn/client Enable the instances which you wish to use: * systemctl enable openvpn-server@YOUR-SERVER * systemctl enable openvpn-server@YOUR-CLIENT Above, 'YOUR-SERVER' and 'YOUR-CLIENT' would be the names of the openvpn config files, put into the correct directory, without the .conf extension. Not necessarily all CAPS. Start the instances which you wish to start: * systemctl start openvpn-server@YOUR-SERVER * systemctl start openvpn-server@YOUR-CLIENT Above, 'YOUR-SERVER' and 'YOUR-CLIENT' would be the names of the openvpn config files, put into the correct directory, without the .conf extension. Not necessarily all CAPS.
