Hello,

I created an openvpn server in ubuntu server using this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/servergui ... envpn.html and got 4 files for a client. I'm trying to connect from a windows pc which has openvpn client on it. I't seems to only accept .opvn file types. How do I convert these 4 files created by my server to this filetype? Or what do I do?

[janjust]

so which 4 files did you end up with?

A windows .ovpn file is just a plaintext file with the required openvpn configuration options, e.g.

Code: Select all

proto udp
remote X.X.X.X
port 1194
ca ca.crt
cert client1.crt
key client1.key
tls-auth ta.key 1

etc.

Your Time in the openvpn client must match the time of the gateway (router) time...
If the time doesn't match, you wil get that specific error...
so check whether your PC's time is correct and you have setupped the correct time zone...
Now after setting the time and timezone correctly...
in a terminal RUN:
openvpn client.conf
