if you managed to compile it from source without errors , check the in /usr/local/bin , /usr/local/etc/

Upgrade to systemd.

No, there is no openvpn.

I see openvpn compiled in the subfolder op openvpn sources
/Software/openvpn-2.3.10.b/src/openvpn/openvpn

Upgrade to systemd.

Good idea, but i have a some problems with it.
I tested openvpn service:
/Software/openvpn-2.3.10.b/src/openvpn/openvpn --cd /etc/openvpn --daemon --config /etc/openvpn/server.conf
works good.
