Ubuntu 16.04 - Couldn't find any package by glob and regex [VPS]

Question

I keep getting this error:

I only started using Ubuntu 2 days ago and I am not exactly sure what it means. Can someone please help me?

I am trying to turn it into a VPN.

You are using apt-get instead of dpkg. BTW you should not need to install openvpn by manually downloading a DEB file, it's in the repositories. — Andrea Lazzarotto, Nov 18 '16 at 12:13
By in the repositories does that mean I can just install it straight off the bat? How would I go about doing that? — SDKASDASKDASLDKASDLKAS, Nov 18 '16 at 13:09
dpkg -i openvpn-as-2.1.4b-Ubuntu16.amd_64.deb worked. Thank you :) — SDKASDASKDASLDKASDLKAS, Nov 18 '16 at 13:16

dpkg -i openvpn-as-2.1.4b-Ubuntu16.amd_64.deb
