Hi Folks,

I hope you can help me, before I used the VPN of the uninversty of Tjubuka, Japan, but due CSF firewall I could not install it on my server.

Now I followed these guides, adapted a bit to get it to work. Only I get an error when I want to connect.

Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in client.ovpn:1: name (2.4.8)
Use --help for more information.

It would be better to read the howto:
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/HOWTO
and the manual:
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Openvpn24ManPage

Read closely:

I tried the YUM way on Centos, did not work, so I started to compile it. did not work.

These manual where the only that did not gave me an error, only while connecting.

I restarted openvpn

Great a step further, now need to set up routing, but on CSF and a normal firewall I don't get the picture.
Any help would be appreciated.
