openVPN FreeBSD no easyrsa.real

[dw07]

Hi,

I am new to openvpn and am trying to configure it on a Freebsd 124 vmware workstation 17 host. I am following this configuration guide/example

https://kifarunix.com/install-and-confi ... reebsd-12/

However when I get to this section no easyrsa.real can be found:

Easy-RSA ships with certificate generation script called easyrsa.real. To generare the certificate files, navigate to /usr/local/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/ directory and proceed as follows;

Initialize the PKI

cd /usr/local/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa
sh ./easyrsa.real init-pki
Note: using Easy-RSA configuration from: ./vars

init-pki complete; you may now create a CA or requests.
Your newly created PKI dir is: /usr/local/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/pki



my /usr/local/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa has the following structure
.
..
openssl-easyrsa.cnf
openssl-easyrsa.cnf.example
vars
x509-types

locate easyrsa.real finds nothing

Does anybody know what I need to do to progress?

Hi,

Maybe I have come to the wrong forum? Can somebody direct me to a forum where I can get some assistance?

All the documentation I can find refers to './easyrsa.real init-pki' and './easyrsa init-pki', but both do not exist in my '/usr/local/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa folder.

pkg info shows info for openvpn and easy-rsa
pkg install states that the latest versions are installed
locate cannot find easyrsa.real or init-pki

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks

Regards

Hi,

just stumpeld over your post while doing quite the same, so I'm not very experienced in openvpn.

If you look on the FreeBSD Port details of easy-rsa (https://www.freshports.org/security/easy-rsa/), you see, that the command is just "easyrsa"

• Code: Select all

  easyrsa help

will give you an overview. To do the job use

• Code: Select all

  easyrsa init-pki

  resp.

  Code: Select all

  easyrsa build-ca 

Cheers!
