Configuring openvpn from an ovpn file on Fedora

Post by randomdeveloper » Sun Dec 05, 2021 11:51 am

My company uses OpenVPN to access some services online. I use Fedora and I have issues downloading and using it following https://hide.me/en/vpnsetup/fedora/openvpn/. Indeed when following the steps

Code: Select all

bash-5.1$ sudo sh -c 'echo \"mylogin\" >> /etc/openvpn/credentials'
bash-5.1$ sudo sh -c 'echo \"MyPassword\" >> /etc/openvpn/credentials'
bash-5.1$ cat /etc/openvpn/credentials 
"mylogin"
"MyPassword"
bash-5.1$ sed -i 's/auth-user-pass/auth-user-pass \/etc\/openvpn\/credentials/g' /home/ac/Documents/configfile\@mycorporation.com.ovpn
nohup openvpn --config /home/ac/Documents/configfile\@mycorporation.com.ovpn & 
[1] 54409
bash-5.1$ nohup: ignoring input and appending output to 'nohup.out'
But when trying to go to the website that requires the vpn I still can't get it.
So how can I configure my openvpn client on Fedora?

Does your company have a technical support channel ?
