      and it offers
      add openvpn, import vpn..

      some artickles talked about running the install apt openvpn

      other artickles just go right into the connection but all give me the dev tun error. that its not a proper vpn file

      but ill give that a try and see how i do

        @viragomann didnt work..
        when i follow the instructions here for pfsense
        https://www.ceos3c.com/pfsense/pfsense-openvpn-linux-client/
        i get the dev tun error in the pic
        i did try using "openvpn" option and do what it said in the document..
        it wouldnt allow me to save.. unless i added a user password.. dunno what thats for
        but didnt work..

        i tried it on my ubunutu vm too doesnt work.. it doesnt give me issue not adding a user password but its not working right.. pics 1 2 are linux lite.. the 3rd one is ubuntu setup
        open1.PNG open2.PNG open3.PNG

        and no issues connecting with my windows openvpn client
        figure how to get it to save had to click the little man body for password and choose no password

        in this pic it asks me for certificate passwords but not sure what password it needs this under linux lite

            @viragomann thats correct PKCS12 password didnt help it..

            pics show OpenVPN packages are installed.. PKCS12 password didnt work
            and like i mentioned OVPN file doesnt work its not a file

            1.. Viscosity bundle doesnt create a .ovpn file thats a inline config (most clients)
            as you can see i imported gives the Same error as importing config.conf
            dev tun error

            so i dont know why i have any info on "user date" what dates do i need
            i have entered the log and password, and that PKCS12 in the private key passwrd

            ive done the gateway domanname.com:1194:udp or domainname.com:1194:upd4

            will not connect
            it just spins on the bottom of the screen and you cant see no logs on whats going on

            i did what you said and none of it worked. so i took screen shots what i did and followed the pfsense step by step as you seen in the link that was what i was showing how it wasnt working and yours didnt work either.. so i just stuck why it cant connect.. why it doesnt like DEV TUN

            but since you think i didnt do what you said i keep googling.. not here to get in trouble opeen 8.PNG
            opeen 9.PNG
            opeen 7.PNG opeen 6.PNG opeen 5.PNG

            i spent 3 or 4 hours last night trying to get your thing to work , researching more trying other tricks etc

                I never mentioned Viscosity here. The Viscosity bundle is for Viscosity and not for the NetworkManager. In that bundle there is neither a .ovpn nor a PKCS12 file and you cannot import it into NM.

                  sorry my dislexia read wrong
                  doesnt matter tried Archive bundle before you can not import OVPN its not a vaild file and i still dont know what you mean "user date" whats the date i enter?

                  and Viscosity says it for Network Connection it states it in Pfsense Step by Step says choose Viscosity bundle

                  so the start over.. Told you i spent 3 4 hours after your post trying to figure out all options...

                  Openconnect (doesnt work)
                  OpenVPN (doesnty work there is no way to import an OVPN file not even advanced section)
                  Point to Point (Didnt work)
                  Cisco Compatible (didnt work)
                  Import saved VPN Configured (Doesnt like ovpn its not a vaild VPN file)

                  so maybe you can post exact Screen Shots since Archived Bundle doesnt work
                  pictures be better

                  so which option i choose OpenVPN where is the option to import ovpn only p12 files work you cant even choose a Private key has to be a p12 files not a .key file

                  but ya i need a break from this spent a couple hours retrying things didnt work..
                  steping away if you can provide step by step photos or step by step what to click be good

                  as you can see in the pic.. you choose 1 file the p12 file under Openvpn and it fills 00.PNG

                    What is the OpenVPN version on your Linux?

                    i still dont know what you mean "user date" whats the date i enter?

                    Username and password. However, if your server use SSL authentication only, there is no need for it.

                    The archive bundle contains 3 files only:

                    • .ovpn
                    • .p12
                    • .key

                    That's all you need.

                    As shown in your screenshot, the p12 has to be entered in the User Certificate, CA Cert and Private key box.
                    Underneath enter the password you've set in the client export utility.

                        You will find the version in the NetworkManager log.
                        /var/log/NetworkManager

                        The host name or the IP only. The port and the protocol is to be set in the advanced options.

                          so there is no network manger folder or file.. there is a sys log.. and i grabbed this at the bottom as it always times out
                          i tried to copy log file to a text file and then post it here but notepad cant read a text file from linux it seems but here is a screen shot of the last bit... it just spins
                          maybe i got something not set right.. not sure what all to set... i checked off the 2 checks under advanced... but all its doing is spin lock spin lock spin lock in bottom right... and the pop up tells me it times out..
                          internet works. network works, if i use windows same network, it connects to pfsense openvpn.. so server is working
                          openbad.PNG openbad2.PNG
                          openbad3.PNG
                          openbad4.PNG

                            So your LInux uses OpenVPN 2.3.10 as shown in the screenshot. That's a very old version and it's not capable of some current features of the pfSense OpenVPN.
                            That would be the reason for the config file import to fail. To configure the client manually won't help here, the connection will fail anyway.
                            You should get a new client version.

                            If you want to connect with that client, you may have to downgrade some settings of your OpenVPN server and reconfigure all your clients. Alternatively you may setup an additional server on another port for 2.3 clients.
                            Settings you may have to change for 2.3:
                            TLS Key Usage Mode: TLS Authentication
                            Encryption Algorithm: AES-xxx-CBC
                            Enable NCP: uncheck
                            Compression: disable or LZO
                            No IPv6 tunnel or networks

                                Any 2.4.x client will be compatible with current pfSense.

                                    @viragomann sorry for the delay
                                    so i did your setups i also checked off box in client export for clients 2.3 and less.. i did save and imported like you mention
                                    it still wont connect.. i also tried that link i posted up about the viscoisty bundle with the 2.3 clients and that also finally imported all the settings fine..
                                    but when connecting still does the spininig then Lock spinning Lock
                                    i tried the Private PVs12 password and no password.

                                    i looked in the /var/logs there is not networkmanager but there is a syslog.. i dont know how much to copy and paste.. but i copied some of the system log maybe it tells you whats wrong.. only selected some of it. as i did try things on and off check boxes ..
                                    maybe its not able to access my domain name,, you cant post sys log your spam bot doesnt let you says i have illegal charactors or something.... so not sure
                                    is there a way to export the OpenVPN logs to its own file

                                        @comet424 said in having issues connecting to OpenVPN from Linux Lite:

                                        174.94.31.185:1194

                                        are you sure the server is running and reacheable on the other side?

                                        or you have something wrong on your client as packet with incorrect HMAC signature will be discarded without response by the server

                                          it connects fine with Android cell phone (on LAN, and Cell network, and from Home depot wifi)

                                          on my Windows 10 LAN it connects fine with the openvpn client app

                                          and for both the android and the windows desktop i use the Inline Clients most clients

                                          the only thing i have checked off in the export client right now is
                                          Use Random Local PortUse a random local source port (lport) for traffic from the client. Without this set, two clients may not run concurrently.

                                          as i wanted to be logged in if another user landon logs in. as it says its for 2 or more clients
                                          and not sure what the HMAC is ill have to google that
                                          and neither Linux Lite or Ubuntu will work.. Ubuntu Logs would post in here but the Linux Lite lots wouldnt your spam filter said the logs text was no good
