Seriously? Since I had written a more verbose explanation before you posted your last comment, let me post it nevertheless - maybe someone can learn something from it ;-) To make the problem clear: openvpn@ is a so-called "Instantiated Services"), which you can't use directly (but YaST tries to): # systemctl enable openvpn@.service Failed to execute operation: Unit name openvpn@.service is not valid. It's not surprising that systemctl errors out - you _have to_ specify an instance name after the "@". This name will typically be used to determinate the config file name (look for %i in the service file). This means you have to use something like (note the added "myserver" after the "@"): # systemctl enable openvpn@myserver.service It's also possible to have more openvpn instances in parallel, like # systemctl enable openvpn@myserver.service # systemctl enable openvpn@cheapvpnprovider.service # systemctl enable openvpn@geeko.service (all those commands succeed.) This all means: *** If the user wants to start or enable "openvpn@", YaST will need to display *** an input box where users can enter "myserver" or whatever config name they *** want to use. In theory this also applies to stop and disable, however this will never happen in practise because "openvpn@" can never be running or enabled - only something like "openvpn@myserver" can. (On the positive side, YaST will display "openvpn@myserver" in the service list as soon as it's running or enabled, so users can disable or stop it.) FIY: In the service file, it looks like this: # systemctl cat openvpn@.service [...] ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon --suppress-timestamps --writepid /run/openvpn/%i.pid --cd /etc/openvpn/ --config %i.conf %i gets replaced by "myserver" for openvpn@myserver.service or by "geeko" for openvpn@geeko.service.
