I have (accidentally) solved the problem:
normally, I use Linux for all of my work, but yesterday tried to unpack client.tar in Windows using 7zip and saw an unexpected directory named "PaxHeaders.2950".
After some searching, found out that my GNU tar 1.26 is by default adding POSIX info to the tar file, so I tried to re/create archive with "-H gnu" and finally was able to successfully upload the file to the phone and see text "vpn.cnf" in the text box after upload (it used to be empty on previous attempts).
Everything worked after reboot, so I am a happy user now.
May I suggest adding this to the official guide?
But now I have another problem: when trying to Autoprovision phone from my TFTP server, I can set all of the parameters except VPN. Relevant part of the "
0015xxxxxxxx.cfg" is this:
network.vpn_enable = 1
openvpn.url =
http://192.168.11.2/client1.tar
If I put the same lines in "
y000000000005.cfg" it downloads the .tar file from server, but does not enable VPN.

One more suggestion to the developers: I think it would be very good to see the VPN status in the Status screen: IP address, server's address (public and VPN), assigned routes....
