I'm trying to build a VPN using a RaspberryPi 3.

I've been following this tutorial - http://readwrite.com/2014/04/10/raspberry-pi-vpn-tutorial-server-secure-web-browsing/ - and everything went smoothly.

Following that generated 5 keys:

  • User1.3des.key
  • User1.crt
  • User1.csr
  • User1.key
  • User1.ovpn

When I try to VPN on mac with TunnelBrick but I'm using User1.ovpn but am getting some errors

    2017-03-09 10:31:45 Tunnelblick[51065] error status 0 returned from commandOptionsInConfigurationsAtPaths:

I'm not very familiar with this and wondering if the issue is due to me using the wrong keys, incorrect permissions on the key or that I screwed something up in configuration.

I found the issue. The .ovpn file I had was no good. I did a scp [email protected]:/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/User1.ovpn ~/Desktop/ and it solved my issue
