EDIT: check for udp

netstat -upnl

I have tried to follow these two guides https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-setup-a-vpn-with-openvpn-on-debian-9-stretch-linux and https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-debian-8 using debian 8 and 9.

I can start the openvpn service and according to the status command it is running, but openvpn is not listening.

# netstat -ntlp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3768/sshd 
tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 3768/sshd

According to the logs is looks there is a couple of errors. What am I doing wrong?
