Okay, not completely true. I ignored the whole section on ufw, because
DIAL doesn't have ufw. Also, when you get to the point of starting the
service, rather than service openvpn start, the command on DIAL is:

systemctl start openvpn at server.service

This assumes your config file is /etc/openvpn/server.conf. For
/etc/openvpn/xxx.conf, you would do systemctl start
openvpn at xxx.service.
