OpenVPN Support Forum

hi there, i actually have a debian based OS in amazon ec2 and i whist to put a openvpn server to play some games (like Age of Empires), now i know that the certificates are to make openvpn server more secure but all the users don't want to download, copy, etc the certificates all the time, i know that by doing this is more insecure but i am not goint to transfer any sensitive data between the server, only games and other minor stuff, i actually have been searching in google with no luck but when i go to network-manager on debian it kind of show me a section for a openvpn client configuration that only will require "username", "password" and the "ca" certificate, but i really couldn't configure the server that way, the only thing that interest me is that and that the clients could see each other for the games, i really are kind of noob for openvpn but if any of you could help me it would be much appreciated

P.D. sorry for the English but it isn't my mother language

P.D2 i know that i actually need that the clients have the "ca" certificate but is more preferred copy or download 1 archive than 3 or 4

sure this is possible:

• * set up the openvpn server using

  Code: Select all

  certificate-not-required
  script-security 2
  auth-user-pass-verify <path-to-script> via-file

  * set up the client configs to include the ca certificate and to use 'auth-user-pass' - the user will be prompted for a username+password
