When you have installed openvpn from the repo, everything is already prepared for you.
Place the whatever.conf file in /etc/openvpn/ and a daemon will be started for it at boot.
Edit
Please note that *.opvn will not work, *.conf will.
@staR I don't know if that was really necessary. But anyway, please try to copywhatever.ovpnto/etc/openvpn/. You'll have to have root rights for this and rename it towhatever.conf. Good luck!

Note, that /etc/default/openvpn file contain AUTOSTART option. You can add there all your configs without .conf at the end you want to autostart. But don't forget to do:
systemctl daemon-reload

If on ubuntu server: go to rc.local.
vi /etc/rc.local
add the following line
openvpn --config /your/path/file.ovpn
save and reboot.
wouldn't that block the rest of the /etc/rc.local script from running?
