Setting up OpenVPN
-
I have a question about the procedure to setup OpenVPN. I read the documentation and I see that it lists all the .crt and .key files etc. I have a single .ovpn file which contains everything and when I manually run openvpn it connects happily. The service however does not auto connect. Do all those files need to be present in order for the openvpn client to run?
Thanks

If this is on a MangoES here are some steps you can use for that type of file. Also I have noticed that you may need to reboot the whole MangoES to get the VPN service to activate but after that it will auto connect every time.
- Copy the .ovpn file to /etc/openvpn/
- Rename file to vpn.conf
- To manually run one time run sudo openvpn --config vpn.conf
To run as service run:
- sudo systemctl enable openvpn@vpn.service
- sudo systemctl start openvpn@vpn.service

It was indeed a Mango ES and that did it! Thanks a ton Joel.
