Just installed openvpn on Debian 9 looking for the right way to enable client at boot:
apt install openvpn
This won't work:
Error opening configuration file: /etc/openvpn/myclient

systemctl status openvpn-client@myclient
systemctl start openvpn-client@myclient

Insteda with the configuration file name will work:
nano /etc/openvpn/client/myclient.conf
systemctl start openvpn-client@myclient
but with "-" within the conf name it will fail.
This will work:
nano /etc/openvpn/client/myclient.conf
systemctl status openvpn@myclient
systemctl enable openvpn@myclient
● openvpn@myclient.service - OpenVPN tunnel for myclient
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/openvpn-client@.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Didn't find any documentation about it to see if should work in one way or the other.
Which way should be preferred openvpn/client/conf or openvpn/conf?

If I am not mistaken the client configuration file's extension should be ".ovpn" rather than ".conf".
Can you please rename it, retry and update?
