A new client configuration. I can launch openvpn and connect via the executable, but systemd cannot start openvpn
I tried
systemctl start [email protected]
systemctl start openvpn@server
systemctl start openvpn@service
systemctl start openvpn
and all the same using the service command. Same start failure.
I have the config file in
/etc/openvpn/
/etc/openvpn/client
The logs appear to indicate it finds my config file but does not digest it. And then proceeds to look in another directory for something it likes.

How do I get systemd to launch openvpn?
Bonus question:
I'm not getting DNS either on this one client, when launching via executable. But that's my next issue. Maybe systemd will fix it.
