OpenVPN Support Forum

Hi,
I'm running OpenVPN at my Windows Server 2016 Standard.
I did receive error's all the time regarding this when I did try to generate keys:
WARNING: can't open config file: /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf

I did try to un-install and re-install OpenVPN server but I did get the same error all the time.

So what I did was that I did move the "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa\openssl-1.0.0.cnf" file to "C:\etc\ssl\" and I did rename it to openssl.cnf now I don't get any error messages and everything seems to work.

Is this good? or is my VPN connections at risk?

There is no security risc associated with your work around (I did the same myself).

But you could upgrade to EasyRSA-3.0.0-rc2 which works correctly.
(That is the only version which will work with windows)

Ok, thanks!
What's up with that version, the 3.0.0-rc2 it has not been updated since 2014.
