Migrating from OpenVPN Community Edition 2.5.5 to OpenVPN Connect v3 (3.4.4)
Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2022 11:40 pm
I have OpenVPN server setup on a Mikrotik RB2011iL (v6.49.2) and I have been using OpenVPN 2.5.5 client from the Community Edition Downloads on my laptops and it works fine. I just had to make sure that 5 files (CA.cert, client.cert, client.key, secret, and openvpn.ovpn files were all in (C:\Program files\OpenVPN\config) directory.
I'm now trying to use OpenVPN Connect v3 (latest 3.3.4), and from what I understand is that I can only use one file which is .ovpn, which contains information from 3 other files (CA.cert, client.cert, and client.key). In other words, I need to use unified format for OpenVPN profiles.
I see a lot of gibberish in all 3 files (CA.cert, client.cert, and client.key) when I open them using Notepad. Do I just copy and paste every one of those files into the .ovpn file? Is there something I need to do on the Mikrotik side?
Thank you for your assistance.
