Once you have installed the openvpn
package, you need to configure it accordingly. (for other readers, the files inside an installed package can be listed with dpkg -L openvpn.)
I can recommend you to use Network Manager which has an OpenVPN plugin. There you can put the certificates, host, etc. of your VPN provider. If you have none and want to setup the server and client, have a look at How do I setup OpenVPN so I can securely use the internet from an unsecured hotspot? (for example).

@karel I have no idea what is the problem, there are generic debugging steps she/he could take though. In the future you can also mail me at peter@lekensteyn.nl (flag this as obsolete so it can be removed) – Lekensteyn Feb 05 '15 at 15:50
