username and password into OVPN file

tintern64

Hi Everyone,

I have an app on an Amazon Firestick and I am trying to configure the VPN side of it.
I have uploaded the OVPN file and it asks me for username and password.
I tried adding in the line "auth-user-pass login.txt" and uploading the .txt file but still asks for username and password.

Can I put the username and password in the .ovpn file?

Thanks
G.

No.

Try:

auth-user-pass /path/to/login.txt

Afraid that didn't work. Doesn't seem to be able to read the .txt file

Why not? What was the error? The answer was correct from the openvpn point of view, but there could be lots of causes of "unable to read a file" outside of openvpn.

Instead of :
/path/to/login.txt
try :
//path//to//login.txt

Why ?

Hi kab,

The doubled path separator "//" in Unix paths does nothing. You're probably thinking of Windows paths, where the backslant "\" is also the escape character, so "\\" is necessary.
