openvpn has special issues with systemd, but once you know the magic 
recipe, it works fine. See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744244

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 at client.service

systemctl status openvpn at client.service


Replace "client" with "server" in each command if the computer is the 
openvpn server.
