question again

Shot in the dark here..

Did you buy and/or download Anonymizer?  Judging by that file list, that's
my guess.

So I went over to the Anonymizer website, and noticed that you have to
"sudo" the config command:

*sudo openvpn --config anonymizer_universal.ovpn*

Now this is the command I found on their site.  If you're not using
Anonymizer, probably best to ignore me for the rest of the day...

Beside sudo, they also specified a different .ovpn file.  If you are using
Anonymizer, maybe try the command shown here?  I'm just guessing here..

Also, I noticed that you extracted everything into
/home/raymond/Downloads/etc.
I think that you may have misunderstood a step somewhere along the way.
It's still ok the way it is!  But just so you know, Downloads (aka
~/Downloads) is in your home folder /home/raymond/Downloads, but /etc is
actually a system folder in the root of your system.  I think you may have
stuck the two folders together in one command.  You're still ok!  You'll
see lots of programs stick their configuration files in /etc.  No damage
done here, but I always double-check the instructions whenever I see "/etc"
or anything other than the home folder.  Just a security thing..

You seem to be having problems with the Linux folder system.  Don't worry,
it took me a long time to figure it out too.  It gets even harder if you're
coming from a Windows or DOS background.  Here's a youtube video that might
help out: https://youtu.be/2qQTXp4rBEE
