Hello,
Why can't I reload the OpenVPN service?

# systemctl reload openvpn
Failed to reload openvpn.service: Job type reload is not applicable for unit openvpn.service.

# systemctl reload openvpn@Server
Failed to reload openvpn@Server.service: Job type reload is not applicable for unit openvpn@Server.service.

Please read this: <https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/master/distro/systemd/README.systemd>

The openvpn.service unit file is a Debian specialty; not supported by the OpenVPN community. And the openvpn@CONFIG.service approach is also deprecated by the community - as it does not behave identical across Linux distributions.

Please migrate to use the openvpn-server@CONFIG.service and openvpn-client@CONFIG.service unit files. They will in most cases behave better.
