I have an openvpn server configuration but for some reason it is unable to run.
The service is at this status:
gateway@gateway:/etc/openvpn$ sudo systemctl status openvpn@VPN_server.service
● openvpn@VPN_server.service - OpenVPN connection to VPN_server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
