      I have used the tutorial tutorial by SparkLabs (makers of the Viscosity OpenVPN client) to set up my OpenVPN server. Somewhere along the way I screwed up and ended up with a non-matching user certificate.

      What would I have to do to remove certificates and other settings, in order to be able to start over with the tutorial from scratch?

        @dominikhoffmann I would also like to know. I don't think having an inactive certificate will harm the system in any way, but I like my thinks neat and tidy.

          Do a reversal of the procedure you followed. Delete instead of create.

          Another option for next time is to take a config backup before you embark on a new project.

          You might also be able to restore an archived backup in the backup history in Diagnostics > Backup & Restore.
