I have set up OpenVPN client on my linux laptop (debian based).
It works by manually starting things up. However, I had tried to do this previously with little success.
I checked my processes, to see what have spun up. I noticed 2 openvpn processes. I noticed the client process. That I expected. However, I did not expect a openvpn which appears to be starting the server mode of the service.
I look at systemctl to see what units were listed, active, etc.
systemctl list-units | grep openvpn
There were 5 units listed.
openvpn.service
openvpn@client.service
openvpn@.service
openvpn@server.service
system-openvpn.slice
i recognize the as that is the provider I am connecting to. However, I do not recognize the rest.
My first question is
A) Can i just disable/remove them all and enable/start the one I want.
B) what is the command(s) that I should use to do the above task.
Thanks.

Can i just disable/remove them all and enable/start the one I want.
Yes, you can. However, keep in mind that 2 of those are "meta" services that'd always work and 1 is a slice.
The services openvpn.service, openvpn@.service will always work and you shouldn't worry about them. And system-openvpn.slice is also something you shouldn't worry about, it's like a cgroup in which all openvpn services run.
As you've listed the services that are running, we can see that the important ones are two:
openvpn@client.service
openvpn@server.service
You can disable the server service with the following command:
systemctl disable openvpn@server.service
I suggest the rest be left alone. Read below if you want to know why the openvpn@server.service is starting like it is.
The client services is running as expected, but the most likely reason why the openvpn@server.service is the following systemd configuration for openvpn@.service:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon ovpn-%i --status /run/openvpn/%i.status 10 --cd /etc/openvpn --script-security 2 --config /etc/openvpn/%i.conf --writepid /run/openvpn/%i.pid
This means that openvpn can start seperate services for seperate configuration files in your /etc/openvpn/ directory. If openvpn@server.service is running, you most likely have a /etc/openvpn/server.config. Nonetheless, you can still disable it.
what is the command(s) that I should use to do the above task.
The most common commands you can use are as follows:
1. Disabling/enabling a service:
systemctl disable/enable service_name.service
2. Starting/stopping/restarting a service:
systemctl start/stop/restart service_name.service
