username and password into OVPN file
Hi Everyone,
I have an app on an Amazon Firestick and I am trying to configure the VPN side of it.
I have uploaded the OVPN file and it asks me for username and password.
I tried adding in the line "auth-user-pass login.txt" and uploading the .txt file but still asks for username and password.
Can I put the username and password in the .ovpn file?
Thanks
G.

I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.

Afraid that didn't work. Doesn't seem to be able to read the .txt file

Re: username and password into OVPN file
Why not? What was the error? The answer was correct from the openvpn point of view, but there could be lots of causes of "unable to read a file" outside of openvpn.

Re: username and password into OVPN file
Instead of :
/path/to/login.txt
try :
//path//to//login.txt
/path/to/login.txt
try :
//path//to//login.txt

Hi kab,
The doubled path separator "//" in Unix paths does nothing. You're probably thinking of Windows paths, where the backslant "\" is also the escape character, so "\\" is necessary.
