hi
see carefuly
http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-sourc ... howto.html
where it says <<For PKI management, we will use easy-rsa, a set of scripts which is bundled with OpenVPN 2.2.x and earlier. If you're using OpenVPN 2.3.x, you need to download easy-rsa separately from here.>>
"here" is

Which of the scores of links is the link to download an executable easy-rsa for Windows?
It seems to be makefiles for compiling; is the average user to compile easy-rsa?

Thank you, I was able to download the .zip for Windows from there.
However, when I run build-ca.bat, I get the error message
Code: Select all
'openssl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.
Is it necessary to rename one of the three versions of openssl provided to openssl.exe or something? I can find nothing in a readme file or anything.

The path includes C:\\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin
I can find no file named openssl.exe created by installing OpenVPN or extracting the Easy-RSA package linked above from github.
The closest thing to an openssl.exe file I can find are 3 files extracted from the github Windows Easy-RSA .zip linked above, but none have filename extensions. The three files are
openssl-0.9.6
openssl-0.9.8
openssl-1.0.0
There is no opesssl.exe in the /bin directory of either of the two Windows XP machines on which I have installed OpenVPN.

I uninstalled OpenVPN, then re-installed.
OpenVPN version 2.3.2 Windows Installer from this page
http://openvpn.net/index.php/download/c ... loads.html
does not have a check box for easy-rsa.

Is the box "RSA Certificate Management Scripts" the one you mean by "Easy-rsa" ?

The menu in this post where you can select to install easy-rsa 2 is missing in the newest version??? In easy-rsa 3 there is no easyrsa.exe??? You can't download easy-rsa 2.2 from GitHub, I can't find the link. As of right now, OpenVPN appears to be broken completely for new setups.
