The real error here is: The permission of the setuid helper is not correct

This sounds like the install hasn't happened properly; this may happen if the openvpn user is not available or configured. That should happen automatically during the yum/rpm install, though. How did you install the openvpn3-linux package? Did you use the Fedora Copr repository? Which version of openvpn3-linux are you running? (please provide output of "openvpn3 version")
