            I have found a bug or maybe its not a bug but my own naming error (just thought I would mention it).

            So I added one VPN and it connected fine. Added a second which is near identical to the first.

            first file has this line:
            tls-remote charlie

            second file has this line:
            tls-remote Road Warrior Server Cert

            On importing I got an error reading config file:
            Option tls-remote has 4 parameters, expected between 1 and 1

            I'm sure I can just rename my cert from "Road Warrior Server Cert" to "RWcert" and it will be fine as my other .ovpn file is only a single parameter.

              if you edit the config and put "Road Warrior Server Cert" in quotes (just like that) does it work?

                      This works great!  Thanks for the update.

                      This works on Jelly Bean 4.1.1 as well.

                        Note this thread in Packages http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,52600.0.html that indicates that putting the string in quotes does not work for some client platforms. Needs a bit of investigation to see exactly what syntax is valid for which clients.

                        As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

                          Perhaps, the real fix is of course to not use spaces in CA/cert names to begin with, but either way, it should work with the quotes I thought.

                          We may just need a newer build of OpenVPN in the export package and that may be sufficient.

                            I do agree. Not sure why that one cert of mine had a space in it, none of the others do. As a linux user I don't normally use spaces.
