Help needed to create opvn file.

[doogalbear]

Ok this should be simple, but I am missing something. I have Ubuntu 14.04 with easy-rsa installed and I have the following files: client1.crt, client1.csr, 01.pem, dh2048.pem, server.crt and server.csr file but no ta.key. how do I get this file and convert it to an .ovpn to use with android connect on my tablet?

Thanks in advance,
Douglas

ta.key is generated by using

Code: Select all

openvpn --genkey --secret ta.key

Thank you Michael for your response. I only have easy-rsa installed at the moment on my system. I am using an asus nt66r with tomato. Do I need to install open vpn to create this key and .opvn file for my devices.

Thank you,
Doug

.ovpn file is created manually....
this means you should check your asus config and create the client conf accordingly.

ta.key is created by openvpn binary.

to create your config you do need to know how openvpn works...
