Can't import .ovpn file into OpenVPN Connect (iOS) using Mail

[bwanajag]

My ovpn is setup and I'm able to connect with my Mac, but I want to also connect with iOS devices. Since iTunes no longer has the ability access apps on devices (as of 13 Sep 2017; v 12.7), the only way I know to import a .ovpn file is by emailing it and then selecting the .ovpn file in the Mail app on my iOS device. When I do that, I get the following error

"Missing/bad file : ta.key : cannot open for read: /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/..."

How do I correctly import the .ovpn into the OpenVPN Connect app on iOS?

I found a solution:

I removed the line "tls-auth ta.key 1", and I moved the line "key-direction 1" to just above the "<tls-auth>".

Wanted to drop a note and say thanks for the fix. Same problem here.

It really worked, thanks
