Yep. I checked both and they are different. So I guess it worked?

3des file should indicate that key as encrypted like in my example.

3des or aes key encryption is only important when transferring keys to your client over insecure channel. It protects your private key from being compromised when in transit.

Oh ok. Not sure why I am not getting the same output. Whatever it did, the new key still worked.

EDIT:

I must have typed something wrong initially because I went back and tried it and it worked. Oops. ;-)

Then I have built the latest OpenVPN 2.4
wget https://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/ ... 4.0.tar.gz
tar xvf openvpn-2.4.0.tar.gz
cd openvpn-2.4.0
./configure --with-crypto-library=mbedtls
make
sudo make install
I got errors while doing ./configure --with-crypto-library=mbedtls and fixed it following this thread on stackoverflow

I just drop it here to help out anyone following this tutorial..

I'm stuck at the command

Code: Select all

./easyrsa init-pki
There seems to be something wrong with my openssl command, can't attach files here so here's an imgur

I'm using mbedtls-2.5.1, openssl-1.1.0f , and openvpn-2.4.3

there is no openssl in /usr/local/bin/openssl

you have to edit the following line in the vars file

set_var EASYRSA_OPENSSL "/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/openssl"

and set this to wherever your openssl is

Newbie question, how do I find where my openssl is located?

Is there a command I could run to find out?

Re: OpenVPN 2.4 and pure elliptic curve crypto setup

which openssl

But then check if this the right one in case your have multiple versions installed

WhateverPath/openssl version

which openssl outputs /usr/local/bin/openssl


EDIT: running openssl will output

Code: Select all

openssl: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Re: OpenVPN 2.4 and pure elliptic curve crypto setup

And

/usr/local/bin/openssl version

?

same thing:

Code: Select all

openssl: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

EDIT: Closest solution I've found was in this thread

I followed along and ran

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.0 libssl-dev

Your OpenSSL is corrupted or not installed properly

Download and do the config, make, make install again?

This time i'll verify the checksum or gpg...

1.

Code: Select all

cd /
2.

Code: Select all

find -name openssl
3.

Code: Select all

/path..../openvpn --version
?

Code: Select all

find -name openssl
./home/pi/openssl-1.1.0f/apps/openssl
./home/pi/openssl-1.1.0f/include/openssl
./usr/local/include/openssl
./usr/local/share/doc/openssl
./usr/local/bin/openssl
./usr/lib/ruby/2.1.0/openssl
./usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf/openssl
./usr/include/openssl
./usr/share/doc/openssl
./usr/share/bash-completion/completions/openssl
./usr/bin/openssl

The openVPN that I'm currently running is version 2.4.3

I suggest to use fresh openssl

Download 1.1.0f, untar

./config shared -Wl,-rpath=/opt/openssl-1.1.0f/lib --prefix=/opt/openssl-1.1.0f/
make
sudo make install

It will install fresh openssl in /opt folder so make sure that your easyrsa vars file points to /opt/openssl-1.1.0f/bin/openssl

Okay, just downloaded and sha256 checks out good. That command looks a little cryptid, what does it do?

Code: Select all

 ./config shared -Wl,-rpath=/opt/openssl-1.1.0f/lib --prefix=/opt/openssl-1.1.0f/

https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Comp ... ing_RPATHs

if you don't compile openvpn with openssl (and i understand you use mbedtls) you can omit rpath but I use it to avoid libraries linking problems in other software I use openssl for.

In case you would like to compile openvpn with openssl use following for openvpn:

./configure \
--enable-systemd \
CFLAGS="-I/opt/openssl-1.1.0f/include -Wl,-rpath=/opt/openssl-1.1.0f/lib -L/opt/openssl-1.1.0f/lib" \

Ah, I see:
Note well: you should use a RPATH when building both OpenSSL and your program. If you don't add a RPATH to both, then your program could runtime-link to the wrong version of OpenSSL.
Okay, making now, should take some time..
