It is far simpler to use [url=https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/IOSinline]INLINE[/url] files. You can use [url=https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa]EasyRSA[/url] or [url=https://github.com/TinCanTech/easy-tls=]EasyTLS[/url] to automate the file [i]inlining[/i].

You are using the Openvpn GUI for Windows ?

Good tip. It actually pointed me to the fact that when the ovpn config file was imported, it didn't take the other config files and key files with it to the same folder. Copying them into the same folder solved the issue and all runs smooth.

Could you be more specific? how did you solve the problem?
where did you put the files?

It is far simpler to use INLINE files.

You can use EasyRSA or EasyTLS to automate the file inlining.
