The title is a bit misleading.

This article is about installing LE certificate in OpenVPN Access Server (https://openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/overview.html) not in the OpenVPN server itself (which I think you can't do).

Thanks for pointing this out. I will try to make this clear in the article. I hope you enjoyed the rest of it.
