some ideas,

you can protect your key with pass
you can install the certificate on windows and tell openvpn to read it from windows database
you can additionally add username/password auth,but such setting is global (not per user)

Hello,

Thanks for your response.

do you know how to process du to add a password before connexion.
for information, i use this link for setup my access on the fonera (http://wiki.fon.com/wiki/Advanced_OpenVPN_Configuration) but nothing about password for the connexion.

ps : sorry for my english (i'm french !)

hi there,

username/pass auth info can be found here

http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-sourc ... l#examples

on alternative auth section,

the problem is that i dont know if fonera supports it...
