please try to understadn what people are telling you

you were advised by people never seen openvpn and
blindly thinking it acts the same way as all other
services

the quote above is NOT from me

you simply do not recognize that this is a SPECIAL CASE because it
makes sense to have it active as client in one network while another
instance providing openvpn as service on the same machine

how do you do that?
come on tell as the syntax to enable two openvpn instances
(one server and one client) with chkconfig!

ONE LAST time i post you the systemd-unit to let openvpn
behave like all the years before - only one instance possible
and after create this damned file you can even do
"chkconfig openvpn on" because it will be redirected to systemctl
in the right order

and if you like the simple syntax you can put as many
copies as you need under /etc/systemd/system/ for
different instances which different parameters
and use "chkconfig" for all of them

so please stop whine around because ONE SPECIFIC SPECIAL SERVICE
for nearly all others you can use "chkconfig" as all the years before
