Hello I used to be able to use an external file to store my password and login but for some reason in the latest version its not working
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote us-siliconvalley.privateinternetaccess.com 1198
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
cipher aes-128-cbc auth sha1 tls-client remote-cert-tls server
auth-user-pass password.txt
comp-lzoverb 1reneg-sec 0crl-verify crl.rsa.2048.pem
ca ca.rsa.2048.crtdisable-occ
Where password.txt stored that information..
Now when I try to do the same as what worked before its giving me a error that reads :
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in US Silicon Valley.ovpn:23: password.txt (2.4.1)
Any clue what changed and how can I get this back to working?
autologin using stored password

Re: autologin using stored password

I believe so yes. The latest release. although I do plan on switching over to the windows service once I resolve this aspect.

Re: autologin using stored password
It may very well be the case. I installed an older version of OpenVPN ( 2.3.1) and it works again using the same config file certs and external password file. With that test I know its a version issue. Either the language changed and "auth-user-pass password.txt" is no longer a valid string or its a bug...Although the OCD in me wants the latest versions of software.. Grr!
