I have set up an OpenVPN Server and was using the VPN Client for Windows version 2.4 were my profiles are working and I am able to import new profiles.
Now I wanted to set it up on a new machine and wanted to try version 3.3.4 of VPN Connect but when I try to import a profile which can be imported in version 2.4 it throws an error saying the client profile configuration is incorrect.
Error Message: ca.crt, client.crt, client.key, ta.key.
I have also attached the vpn profile but removed sensitive data.
As the error message is not really helpful, do you have any idea why I cannot import the profile?
