I can start openvpn with

(My openvpn config file is /etc/openvpn/client.conf ,
which I think is more or less standard.)

But I don't know how to turn it on permanently, eg I get
[tim@blanche ~]$ sudo systemctl enable openvpn@client.service
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory

The whole thing seems to me extraordinarily badly documented,
even by Linux standards.
Or is it a bug?

It is an oddity that isn't handled well by systemd (yet?).

For permanent autostart, you need to create a link manually, like this:

ln -s /lib/systemd/system/openvpn\@.service \
   /etc/systemd/system/openvpn\@client.service

Read about it here:
