I am trying to run OpenVPN on Windows 10 for the first time.
I was handed 5 tried and tested .ovpn files (on Linux anyway) which contain keys and everything for me to operate as a client.
The server is set up and running elsewhere.
The .ovpn files were generated on a Linux machine.
When I start OpenVPN I get an error popup:
Connecting to management interface failed.
View log file.
Here's the log file:
Fri Jun 22 17:54:05 2018 NOTE: --user option is not implemented on Windows
Fri Jun 22 17:54:05 2018 NOTE: --group option is not implemented on Windows
Options error: --up script fails with '/etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf': No such process (errno=3)
Options error: Please correct this error.
Use --help for more information.
In the .ovpn file, I found the items related to the option error. Just before the certificate:
# Updates DNSRESOLVE
script-security 2
up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
There is no such folder, /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf, on Windows.
What about the user option and group option not implemented in Windows?
Can I correct this manually?
Or do I have to generate a completely new ovpn file on my Windows box?
I was hoping .ovpn files were platform-agnostic.
