Well, if you take another look at the link I gave you, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Openvpn#Working_with_systemd you will see that after the server setup instructions, there are also the client setup instructions. Assuming that you have already configured keys and the openvpn configuration file /etc/openvpn/MyClient.conf, you might be interested in these particular steps: 4. cd /lib/systemd/system 5. ln openvpn@.service openvpn@MyClient.service 6. systemctl enable openvpn@MyClient.service 7. systemctl start openvpn@MyClient.service This worked for me, openvpn client service starts automatically at boot, and never shuts down. If it doesn't work for you, look at /var/log/messages and tell us what went wrong.
