Can't go further the installation package

Post by Mumomie » Mon Nov 01, 2021 2:29 pm

Hello,

I am a newbie and I have to install OpenVPN on Windows Server 2016.
I installed OpenVPN-2.5.4.-I604.msi. But I can't go further. It's impossible for me to run init-config and all the following things to do with the command line as an administrateur.

I really don't understand why. I need a help. Anyone has an idea ?

Thanks for any suggestion.

Please start here:
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/HOWTO

Please use Easy-RSA Version 3, which you have to select as CUSTOM-INSTALL when installing OpenVPN.

Thanks a lot for your help and answers.
I worked with the first. I selected a Custom-Install and use EasyRSA version3.
Choose OpenVPN service, OpenSSL utilities, EasyRSA3 Certificat management scripts.

The hardest part is further and I am still stuck with init-config.

EasyRSA version 3 does not have init-config ...
