They are used for authentication. The .ovpn file (.conf on Unix) contains the information OpenVPN needs to find your OpenVPN server. A good sample can be found at http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#examples. For example, I give the following config to my clients: ==================================== client dev tun proto udp remote put_your_server_ip_here 1194 resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun route-method exe route-delay 2 ca ca.crt cert client1.crt key client1.key # only uncomment if you setup tls-auth # tls-auth tls-auth.key 1 verb 3 comp-lzo ==================================== Yours won't match exactly but it'll probably be awfully close. kmw _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
