Answer 1

1. Set systemd's loglevel to debug ( read more here ) and check for errors.
2. Check the logs of openvpn itself, maybe you have a problem with the config.

Answer 2

sudo systemctl start [email protected]
Instead of 'server', enter the name of the configuration file if your name is not server.conf.
Those. to start another server on the same machine - make a config file server-udp-20001.conf, and thensystemctl start [email protected]
