OpenVPN Support Forum

I am using 2 VM. One VM is as a openvpn server & another VM is for openvpen client.

I am using amazon linux 2

As I am new to openvpn I used this guide.
https://devops-fu.org/2019/03/25/how-to-install-and-configure-openvpn-on-amazon-linux/

Here at the end it was asking for pem paraphrase & then client.ovpn got generated. Now whenever I try to connect using clinetVM using cmd openvpn --config client.ovpn
Here it was asking for some password.
*How to Disable this Password?*

As I am only using this setup. I wanted to to turn off encryption for. eg cipher
I changed
auth none
cipher none
In both client.ovpn & server.conf

Now whenever I try to restart openvpn using cmd
service openvpn restart
It is giving me an error..

Can anyone please help me on this

How about asking the author of your script why it does not work.

Please see:

Search for netplwiz and click the top result to open Control Panel. Select the account to remove the password under the “Users for this computer” section. Clear the “User must enter a user name and password to use this computer” option. Click the Apply button.

The user can login at the main web interface of Access Server where he/she can also download the OpenVPN Connect v2 or v3 software, and there will be a change password button there, if this function is enabled and the user is allowed to change his password.
