OpenVPN Support Forum

Hello,

I installed the OpenVPN app on iOS and using the option to import a profile from an OpenVPN access server, seemed to connect and pull the information just fine.

However, I receive the following error under the "New profiles are available..." section.

Error loading profile: Inbox/client.ovpn
option_error: more than one instance of option 'dev'

The green plus option and the green arrow option are grayed out and only the red X option is available.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank You!

That error means you have multiple "dev tun" or "dev" keys in your client.ovpn file. Please check your client.ovpn file.

Secondly, if you are adding ovpn file from iTunes connect, add above inbox folder.

I hope this will help you.

Thank You! It did. I saw a couple of "dev_tun" lines. I just deleted the second one and (after deleting a duplicate proto line) the certificate pulled in fine.

I'm having authentication failures - but that's another thing I need to work on.

Thanks again!

Great. Are you using username-password authentication or cert-based?
