    So I have a couple of lowend vps, and can install the openvpn as package, and click click can get an openvpn client running on windows working by just download loading the autologin profile for the user.  This works for what I need them for, since really only need the vpn connection when the pipe to EU using comcast during primetime blows chunks.. So route my traffic through a lowend vps on my client and get the bandwidth I need to my server in NL.  But would be nice to setup the connection in pfsense and be able to route just traffic through it based upon destination IP.. Then prob just leave it on all the time, etc.

    So here is what the the .ovpn file looks like

    I have tried creating the certs individual certs via instructions here, and using them http://docs.openvpn.net/administration-guide/cli-command-line-interface/extracting-separate-certificate-files-for-a-user/

    -rw-r–r-- 1 root root  652 Feb 23 12:40 ca.crt
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  676 Feb 23 12:40 client.crt
    -rw------- 1 root root  916 Feb 23 12:40 client.key
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3927 Feb 23 12:40 client.ovpn
    -rw------- 1 root root  651 Feb 23 12:40 ta.key

    that ovpn looks a bit different

    Gone through the pinned how tos, and just doesn't really line up and can not get it working.  If someone can point me to how you use an autologin profile - or the name profile to the openvpn access server.

    https://openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/overview.html

    You have full control over the server side..  You can download different profiles, etc.  If someone can point me in the right direction to get this connected I will be very happy to put together a full howto, etc with pretty pictures, etc. etc.

    Lowend vps make for great vpn exits, for $15 a year you can get 500GB transfer a month, etc.
