Please read this: <https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/master/distro/systemd/README.systemd> The openvpn.service unit file is a Debian specialty; not supported by the OpenVPN community. And the [email protected] approach is also deprecated by the community - as it does not behave identical across Linux distributions. Please migrate to use the [email protected] and [email protected] unit files. They will in most cases behave better. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth OpenVPN Inc
