Safe way to share certs and keys
Posted: Tue Mar 21, 2023 3:23 pm
Hi!, I'm new in all this of the openVPN.
I was able to finish the first "How To" and run a basic VPN server, with the server and clients keys (but I only made 1).
Well, I want in some time test it with other ppl, but I notice something, the client config file, needs four file.
ca.crt (can be public)
client1.crt (can be public)
client1.key (can't be public)
ta.key (no idea)
How openVPN needs this four files... I'm asking how can I share them in a safe way. Ideally in a easy way too, send all the files in a zip, is not the easiest way for a non technical user.
Thx!
