OpenVPN - not connected - iOS - PolarSSL: error parsing config private key

Hey,
if anyone can meet with such a problem on iOS? On the other system works without a problem.

has there been any resolution with this issue?

I'm experiencing the same with an iOS device.

I'm using 4096 bit encryption, using a raspberry pi with PiVPN installed.

as is, the ovpn profiles work flawlessly with the Android "OpenVPN for Android" app (although not the "official" OpenVPN app, as I get the same type of error as I do with iOS).

I've also the same error.

Using 2048 bits key strength works, but I want to have 4096 bits. So is there any other solution keeping the bit strength high?
