Cannot import ovpn file

[leviethung2103]

After install the openvpn on Armbian Linux. It created the .ovpn file successfully.

However, i cannot import the .ovpn file into the OpenVPN connect

Please suggest any solutions

I believe this issue is because the command currently used to generate the TLS encryption key in the script openvpn --genkey --secret /etc/openvpn/tls-crypt.key, used here:

openvpn-install/openvpn-install.sh

Line 781 in e1f19e0

openvpn --genkey --secret /etc/openvpn/tls-crypt.key

is deprecated. shell logs below.

root@personal:~# openvpn --genkey --secret /etc/openvpn/tls-crypt.key
2024-11-25 00:02:03 DEPRECATED OPTION: The option --secret is deprecated.
2024-11-25 00:02:03 WARNING: Using --genkey --secret filename is DEPRECATED.  Use --genkey secret filename instead.

Fix is to update the offending lines in the script to use the new syntax for the command.

openvpn --genkey secret /etc/openvpn/tls-crypt.key

Probably your tls-key is not generated correctly. Is there empty <tls-crypt> in your ovpn file?

I fixed this by running script as root.
