OpenVPN
« on: August 17, 2017, 11:26:41 pm »
Hi,

I'm trying to figger out who is causing problems with my OpenVPN file.
On all my IOS devices I can connect to my OPNSense router with OpenVPN.
However, when I try to connect with my Mint Linux laptop through the network-manager I get this error:
The file 'VPN.ovpn' could not be read or does not contain recognized VPN connection information
Error: unknown error.

When I use this file in terminal it works like a charm.
$sudo openvpn VPN.ovpn

Google was not my friend. Looking for a solution for months now, terminal is the only way to connect.

Any ideas?

Not sure if this is related at all, but I'll keep an eye on the thread. My iOS devices can't connect to the OPNSense router as well.

Is the VPN.ovpn file self-contained? I.e. does it have the certificates included or does it reference certificates in separate files? If the latter; check the permissions on the certificate files.

As I've mentioned on this forum before, the guide I've followed with consistent success on the few occasions I configured VPN's is here: https://www.kirkg.us/posts/building-an-openvpn-server-with-opnsense/

I tried both but it only works in terminal, not with the network-manager GUI.
