      Hi community,

      i have a problem connecting to my vpn provider with pfsense. Although i can use the OPENvpn client on any windows OS.
      I´ve got 2 files in the config folder ( nVPN.crt and #nickname#.ovpn) There is no key file or any other crt file.
      Using the openvpn client on windows os works like a charm. Authentication is via user+pass.
      I tried several guides here but none of them worked cause i don´t have any *.key file.

      Here is my ovpn file:

      client
      dev tun
      auth-user-pass
      proto udp
      remote u674011.nvpn.so 1194
      resolv-retry infinite
      nobind
      persist-key
      persist-tun
      comp-lzo
      ca nVPN.crt
      verb 3

      and the crt file has only this nothing more:

      –---BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
      ###################
      ###################
      -----END CERTIFICATE-----

      How can i configure pfsense to connect to my vpn provider without any key???
      I appreciate your help cause i am really in despair....

        you need to make a file (pass.txt) with you username and password…first line for the username and second line for the password..

        and add this to your advanced configuration box:

        auth-user-pass /usr/local/pass.txt
