Q RE: Generate Config/Cert

[doni49]

Hi all. I am attempting to setup a Raspberry Pi as an OpenVPN server to enable safe surfing from my laptop when traveling.

I've been using the following as a guide to get it up and running.
http://schoorsj.blogspot.com/2013/04/op ... ry-pi.html

I got through about 3/4 of the page with it going pretty smooth. But now about 3/4 of the way down the page, I see the following:

Next, create client configuration and certificates, they will be stored in: " /etc/openvpn/config/local-domain.vpn/clients-configs/Client-name"

openvpn-tools add-client local-domain.vpn client-alias


This will create configuration files and certificates in a zip file. You can retrieve them with PSCP if you do not want to setup an ftp server.

ServerName: RasPiHomeNAS-domain.com
Client name: PC6.RasPiHomeNAS-domain.com

I do not have a zip folder and /etc/openvpn/config/RasPiHomeNAS-donireland.com/clients-configs/PC6.RasPiHomeNAS-donireland.com is a FILE not a FOLDER.

So where do I find this zip file containing a config file and a certificate?

TIA!

Ok. I finally found the zip files under a folder called "clients" as opposed to clients-configs (both folders exist -- but different contents).
