Since upstream uses ProtectHome=true, I'd tend to think that having the config files in home directories is not that common even if it's certainly a valid use case. IMHO, this is a perfect case for using drop- in snippets:
$ sudo systemctl edit openvpn@ Then enter the following: [Service] ProtectHome=read-only This will override just the ProtectHome directive to account for your local needs and it will also survive any package upgrade. Directly editing /lib/systemd/system/$unit@.service doesn't survive package upgrades which is why drop-ins are nice. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1787801 Title: openvpn does not work with ecryptfs setup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/1787801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
