I'm trying to install OpenVpn on my BI pc. (fios router can't do vpn), to avoid port forwarding.
I was able to install the server part (I think!) and it runs... though I'm not quite sure how to test it.
The issue is installing the client on Android. I installed OpenVpn on the phone, and it need the "client.ovpn" file. I copied that file to the phone, but when pointing OpenVpn app to that file, it shows errors finding the ca.crt, client.crt, and client.key files... I'm not sure where they need to be, or how to point to them in the client.ovpn file (I tried several ways), for example:
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
or
ca "c:\\program files\\openvpn\\Easy-RSA\\pki\\ca.crt"
cert "c:\\program files\\openvpn\\Easy-RSA\\pki\\issued\\client.crt"
key "c:\\program files\\openvpn\\Easy-RSA\\pki\\private\\client.key"
I tried copying the three files to the phone in same folder as the client.ovpn, no difference. I tried using another app, no change.
There is an option to retrieve the files using a web server interface to the openVpn on the pc..., but I have no clue how to do that.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
