Title: openVPN setup, Windows Client
Post by: jpichie on November 15, 2022, 04:42:59 PM
Hello,
I tried following some opnsense OpenVPN steps, but I could not get my windows client to connect.
From a high level perspective, I create a self sign authority, create a server cert, then setup my openVPN server right?

for the client, do I need to create a user with a user cert? or is there another way to do this?
Export client would be the easiest way once everything is setup properly right?

thanks

Are you still having issues? What is coming from the client log? Anything that stands out?

Hello
I am.
I was having other issues at the time that I finally got resolved (Realtek NICs needed realtek plugin on newer versions... Happy I found that)

I guess I am just wondering what is the simplest way to setup a VPN for a laptop when I am away from home.
I came from Untangle, and it was very simple back then, more options on opnSense I guess.

thanks
