Hi, I''ve followed this tut:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-16-04
It seems something is wrong. Can it have anything to do with an earlier RSA key I created in attempt of setting up an SSL encryption to go with my Apache server? Or shouldn't it be any concern?
This is what I'm getting after running sudo systemctl start openvpn@server and then sudo systemctl status openvpn@server:
buksa@Ubuntu-1604-xenial-64-minimal:/$ sudo systemctl status openvpn@server

I usually understand some of the error messages I get. But here I don't have a clue of what is wrong.
When I set it up I chose to use port 433 instead of the default one, since this is commonly open on most strict network enviroments and recommended. The reason I'm putting up a VPN on my box, is that the network here at my workplace is mostly closed to only work related trafic. Which is both bogus and sad.
I haven't encountered any other errors so far, I've spent much time not to make any mistakes or overlook anything important when editing any config files. Needed to apt-get ufw, because oddly, it wasn't installed already. It went fine and all the ufw statuses are looking just fine.
Any help appreciated here.
