According to https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/master/distro/systemd/README.systemd, as of OpenVPN v2.4, most/all configuration files were moved from /etc/openvpn/ to /etc/openvpn/server/.

A number of the pihole guide pages still refer to the old path:

You should have an existing OpenVPN server configured and running. We are going to use the original configuration file located at `/etc/openvpn/server.conf`.
First, copy the file:
```bash
sudo cp /etc/openvpn/server.conf /etc/openvpn/server2.conf

vim /etc/openvpn/client-common.txt

vim /etc/openvpn/server.conf

Edit your `/etc/openvpn/server.conf` and remove (comment out) the following line:

Edit your `/etc/openvpn/server.conf`:

... and more (listing them is tedious when it's easy to fix).

Caused me a bit of confusion when I first ran through the guide - spent about an hour scratching my head as to why my settings weren't applying or things were missing until I realised everything was under the server folder.

I'll raise a PR to fix this issue.
