queubufor Hello, I am a complete novice to OpenVPN, Linux, and networking in general. I wanted to find out a little more about pre-shared keys. How do I set one up if I wanted it in my OpenVPN implementation? Thank you for your help.

TinCanTech Short answer: Because that is how openvpn works. If you want to question Openvpn security then you are going to need to learn a lot more about it. I suggest you simply follow the howto and create a standard PKI base complete VPN. If you also want to try a static key VPN then try that too.
