OpenVPN with configuration file not working?

Hi,

After testing the plex support on a few media players I ended up testing rasplex and it’s awesome!
I currently connected 2 Pi3’s at home on my older tv’s and I configured a 3rd one for use on holliday
to be connected via openvpn trough tcp port 443 (on restricted networks it’s the only way)
However configuring the VPN wasn’t so straightforward. I use a config file with all parameters and certificatesf which
I generate for each client. In the raspex openvpn configuration GUI you can select a configfile under advanced.
However you can’t save afterwards without filling out the entire page and I get the impression that the values enter get presedence over the config file…

When I try entering the data from the config file into the gui the connection isn’t working, when I start openvpn from ssh with my config file it does however… So I was wondering, is it possible to ‘see’ what commands are passed on to openvpn when you configure using the gui and is TAP mode supported (that’s what I use, when starting openvpn manually a TAP0 interface appears in the connections menu)

Best Regards,

Derek

I use OpenVPN with my Rasplex clients and I was never able to get the GUI configuration to work. If you SSH into the PI, you can drop your configuration file in and run OpenVPN from the commandline.
