→OpenVPN client configuration
The client configuration is stored in a single text file. You can either download an example file from the Internet or use our configuration, which you can download from '''[[Media:ovpn.ovpn|here]]'''. The file stores standard OpenVPN options, which depend on the server type and user preferences, and authentication certificates or file paths to the certificates. Since we'll be using TLS authentication for this example, we'll need to generate '''TLS certificates''' for our configuration to work. The process on how to do that is described '''[[How to generate TLS certificates?|here]]''' in detail.
