Hi Ofruin,
if you need to use RPI only as client, you don’t need to follow this procedure (which configures a server). You can use official OpenVPN doc for Raspberry PI (https://www.ovpn.com/en/guides/raspberry-pi-raspbian). It refers to Raspbian but I think this will apply also to Raspberry PI OS. Change Step 6 (Download configuration file & setup OpenVPN) with getting client certificate from your VPN provider.
If you need to setup both server and client on same device, with client connecting to its internal server, it seems a really strange configuration… However you should follow same client installation and use locally generated certificate.
Let me know if any help is required.

I successfully went through all the steps with the exclusion of sending email. How do I implement a pivpn vpn on the same RPi that the server resides? I looked at /etc/pivpn/openvpn/setupVars.conf . Thanks.
