There is a How To in sysconfig file:

# On systems running systemd after updating the list below you have to
# restart systemd to regenerate openvpn at TUNNEL.service services
# (systemctl --system daemon-reload), stop and start openvpn.target when
# removing elements from list or restart openvpn.target when only adding
# elements (systemctl stop openvpn.target / systemctl restart
# openvpn.target).
