OpenVPN Connect: How to generate an .OVPN config file to use in OpenVPN Connect

[hugoeyng]

Hello, friends.

pfSense 23.09.1

I am used to download an executable from OpenVPN/Client Export and then install it on the computer.

Now, for some purposes, I need and I downloaded OpenVPN Connect. It works fine connecting some servers but does not work to connect my own pfSense VPN.

I already imported my certificate downloaded from from pfSense and assigned it:

But when I try to connect a error message is raised:

I notice that .OVPN config file used by OpenVPN Connect has in it the certificates and some security informations:

<ca>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</ca>

<cert>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</cert>

<key>
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
</key>

key-direction 1
<tls-auth>
-----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1-----
-----END OpenVPN Static key V1-----
</tls-auth>

But the .OVPN config file generated by OpenVPN\Client Export does not contain those information, so I add the certificate and assined it manually. Do not work.

I am afraid that I am not very clear, I apologize about that, and would be tankfull if someone can help me.
