I try to install the Debian/Ubuntu repository, but it fails. I'm using this manual on https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/w ... twareRepos. I want to install OpenVPN Community Edition as a client on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Command:

Code: Select all

wget -O - https://swupdate.openvpn.net/repos/repo-public.gpg|apt-key add -
Error:

Code: Select all

To connect to swupdate.openvpn.net insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.
I don't know how to use the "--no-check-certificate" when installing. Could someone help me out?

The administrators of the repos have been informed (hopefully) the certificate will be updated soon.

Thank you for the update. Yeah, it's better to do it the official way through a proper working repository. I'll wait patiently.

Is it done already? :roll:
