Hello,
I am a complete novice to OpenVPN, Linux, and networking in general. I wanted to find out a little more about pre-shared keys. How do I set one up if I wanted it in my OpenVPN implementation?
Thank you for your help.

Re: OpenVPN and Pre-Shared key
Short answer: Because that is how openvpn works.
If you want to question Openvpn security then you are going to need to learn a lot more about it.
I suggest you simply follow the howto and create a standard PKI base complete VPN.
If you also want to try a static key VPN then try that too.
