If this is not the correct place to post this please tell me where I should, I have tried posting this question on the website that provided the guide but have received no response in over 30 days. Here's my story and problem.
I was successful setting up a VPN server on my Pi using the guidance provided by this article (
https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-vpn-server/). I am now trying to setup my Asus router running the latest version of Tomato by Shibby with its built in OpenVPN Client to connect to the remote Pi. I am having difficulty getting it going and I could use some guidance. The first is the use of the proper Keys, I viewed the ovpn file generated by the Pi and I see the Keys, but I am not sure which of the ca keys to use (<ca> or </ca>
<cert>). Listed below are the settings for the Client on the router and the settings I am using in parentheses after the setting. If someone could review and advise.
