How to configure an openvpn in Ubuntu

So this is my first time asking a question on here or any forum. I've tried looking into this problem but none of the questions asked or the solutions to those questions really applied to my problem. ill try to be as specific as i can. I'm new to Linux, I've dual booted ubuntu 16.04 on my 64bit laptop. I'm trying to create and configure an openvpn and in trying to unzip "server.conf.gz" i run into this

bash: /etc/openvpn/server.confg: Permission denied

and don't know why. Please if anyone knows what i have to do please help me out, i would really appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to read through all that.

Please use: 

gunzip server.conf.gz -c /etc/openvpn

or 

sudo gunzip server.conf.gz -c /etc/openvpn

hope it will works.

Use sudo before the command or root user to execute that command. Your current user doesn't have permission to write in /etc/openvpn directory.
