can't use my vpn configuration - private key password failed

jadel

Hi guys,
I have always used the same openvnp configuration for accessing my company files.
I already istalled the same config in different laptop I used.
Today I'm making the migration from my old laptop to my new one BUT the config doesn't work at all
(what I did: download openvpn, installed, installed my keys and config files)

Here the log:

:/ I tried every possible solution but it doesn't work at all. thanks for every suggestion 🙂

Place your key files under the same folder as the config file.

That's the problem: the files are already in the same folder of config file...

Mimiko

Post the config file, and the directory listing of the folder where the config file resides with chmod shown.

i believe jadel uses windows not linux..

if you use win 7 use openvpn 2.1.4 or higher,2.0.9 is quite old..

also post your config..

ps: i noticed this:Error: private key password verification failed
did you protect the key file with password?
