Hi, I subscribe to a VPN service called Overplay.net and for Linux they have a separate ca certificate and config file which work great on the network-manager-openvpn package available to many distros.
However, been working with PCLinuxOS lately but which does not have network-manager-openvpn in their repositories, so must make do with the standard OpenVPN utility they use (v2.2.1). Their brief documentation on getting it work cites an example of using a 'certificate bundle' which includes both certificate and settings in an .ovpn file. So it may not adequately address my situation with the 2 separate cert/conf files.
What I have tried is putting the conf and cert files in the /etc/openvpn folder, as well as user name, password on separate lines in an 'up' file then use the command 'su openvpn belgium.conf'. But it always comes back with an 'authentication failure' message.
The belgium.conf settings:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote-random
remote 176.67.84.213 1448
auth-user-pass up
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca OverplayCert.crt
verb 5
route-method exe
route-delay 2
tun-mtu 1500
tun-mtu-extra 32
mssfix 1450
comp-lzo
I also tried a bundled cert/settings .ovpn file just by pasting the certificate into the conf file, still didnt work. Anything else I need to do to get it to work?
Thanks.
