Nb I know how to start the service,
but I don't know any simple way to enable it.

why the hell do you not read answers?

Please read more carefully the posting you are responding to.
I had been advised that the commands I used would start and enable openvpn.
I was simply pointing out that this is not so.

If your openvpn config file is /etc/openvpn/client.conf, do:


ln -s /lib/systemd/system/openvpn\@.service
/etc/systemd/system/openvpn\@client.service

systemctl daemon-reload

systemctl start openvpn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

systemctl status openvpn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Again, read what I said: I don't know any SIMPLE way to enable openvpn.
I do not regard what you wrote as a simple way to enable a service.
Also, as I pointed out, it did not work for me,
though I am quite prepared to believe this was due to a typo
or other error on my part.
(I would not be likely to make an error with "chkconfig openvpn on".)
