OpenVPN Support Forum

Hi all,

Trying to use the OpenVPN client on my Raspberry Pi to connect to privatetunnel.com with their provided .ovpn file, but I get the following error:

root@raspberrypi:/etc/openvpn# openvpn --config London.ovpn
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in London.ovpn:22: extra-certs (2.2.1)
Use --help for more information.

.ovpn contents are below (some info removed).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Andy
