      Hi guys, following this article.

      https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/using-openvpn-cloud-profile-to-configure-pfsense/

      When importing the CA, i get this error and cannot go further.

      The following input errors were detected:

      The submitted certificate does not appear to be a Certificate Authority, import it on the Certificates tab instead.

      Any ideas? Trying to connect to OpenVPN cloud connector.

      Thanks

          @viktor_g Hi thanks for the reply.

          Could you walk me through how to do this? Is it in the certificate itself?

          Sorry im a little new when it comes to certificates.

          Thanks!

            @deanfourie It looks like you are trying to import Client/Server certificate on the CA page.

            Please read https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/certificates/index.html
            and watch https://www.netgate.com/resources/videos-certificate-management-on-pfsense-24
