Files are in the same directory, but OpenVPN Android client can't find them

Not sure what is happening here. I've used this folder in the past but wanted to reimport to troubleshoot some settings. Now it's not able to parse the files in the same directory?

I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.

Try to inline the certs/keys:

Thanks @Pippin, I could and had read about that earlier, but this used to work - why would it not work all of the sudden?

(btw, I can't message any mods, but I need to redact a hostname from my very first post here for security purposes, any chance you can help?

That appears to have been removed for you.

Not sure but could be an update to Android, I have not used any smart phone for a few years now.
In-lining seems to be a solution many times.

Hello,

Can you try using the little boxes on the right to select multiple files at once? That might allow the program to receive them all together for processing. Worth a try. Otherwise making the certificates inline into one file would definitely work.

Kind regards,
Johan

Aha, thanks Johan - that solved it. Both options work now, appreciated!
