This is the location of the unit files which we really should use. <https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/tree/master/distro/systemd> It should break anything if you have the openvpn-{client,server}@.service files packaged. It would actually fix a few bugs instead. I haven't checked the current state of what's in our .deb packages, but we should really ship the very latest at any time. And DO NOT ship the brokenness of openvpn.service and openvpn@.service ... those are not maintained by us and will make things work even worse; especially since openvpn 2.4.x and newer is systemd aware and integrates much better. > Also, we don't have packages for Ubuntu 18.04 yet. So using the > packaging files from Ubuntu's repositories makes perfect sense there and > can't break anything. Yes! Latest and greatest from our own sources. Always. ;-) And do not ship openvpn.service and openvpn@.service. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth OpenVPN Inc
