I'm having the very same problem and a quick search reveals that there are more people out there experiencing this. My workaround was not to uncomment the line in the original file located in /lib, but to create an superseding config:
sudo systemctl edit openvpn@server Then increasing the limit: [Service] LimitNPROC=100 However, it's just a workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1631104 Title: The LimitNPROC line in /lib/systemd/system/[email protected] has to be commented out in order to be able to start OpenVPN To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/1631104/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
