While "instance" indeed aligns better with the systemd concept, I
believe the newer units have better descriptions:
$ systemctl cat openvpn@.service \
openvpn-server@.service \
openvpn-client@.service | grep Description
Description=OpenVPN connection to %i
Description=OpenVPN service for %I
Description=OpenVPN tunnel for %I
The openvpn@.service variant should probably be avoided but is
supposedly kept for backward compatibility.
HTH,
