How to use OpenVPN?

I'm using OpenVPN on my PC. It has a ".conf" file and also a username and password.
In Android with "OpenVPN Connect" I import the ".conf" and enter my user-pass so it connects well.

But In the OpenVPN of the BalckHole' BluePlanel there's only an Enable/Disable and also Activate/Deactivate buttons.

Where should I copy my ".conf" and where should I enter my user-pass?

Hi,

i t depends , if you need vpn server or client, and anyway you need to edit config files /etc/openvpn, and then start via GUI.

You can find more info if you search this forum.

As I mentioned "OpenVPN Connect" for Android I want a VPN Client.
I've searched the forum but everywhere the answer is a reference to OpenVPN website. I didn't find any clear solution for the following questions:
Where should I copy my ".conf" and where should I enter my user-pass to use OpenVPN as a client?

For use Username and Password with the OpenVpn need a plugin
Code: 
plugin /etc/openvpn/openvpn-auth-pam.so /etc/pam.d/login
in this moment the OpenVpn in the BH image not use this plugin

Hi,

OpenVPN on BH works very fine, you just have to adapt your configuration.

For example, if you have a .conf like this one :

Code: 
client
port 443
proto tcp
dev tun
remote server-vpn.com
resolv-retry infinite
ca /etc/openvpn/ca.crt
tls-auth /etc/openvpn/ta.key 1
auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/ident
cipher AES-256-CBC
comp-lzo
verb 1
route-method exe
route-delay 2
nobind
ns-cert-type server


You need to create a client.conf and put all the .conf on it with the paths to all importants files (ca.crt, ident, ...)

Next step, create ident (or other name if you want) and copy your user-pass like that :

Code: 
user
pass

Then you can run openvpn and after few seconds, you are connected !

Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks bouboufah, I get the clue and here's the steps:

  • Rename "xxx.conf" file to "client.conf"
  • Change "auth-user-pass" to "auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/ident" for accepting user-pass
  • Add the ident file with username and password.
Now it's working.
Note: in my experiments I get no response with UDP but TCP is working fine.

I renamed this file client.conf and I edited the auth-user-pass as auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/ident

then I created an ident file with just my user and password in two separate lines.

I start the VPN, it says running but I do not think it works. If I put the decoder on stan by and back on... I see that it is stopped.

Can any one give me an help?

Thanks

I think I solved the problem... the problem was in the ident file. As usual creating text file in the Mac is not an easy think if the file has to be used by other OS. It is recommended to use applications like TextWrangler instead of the simple Text Edit.

Now I would need only one tihnk... a tool to find out what's my public ip address from my device. Pls note I have a vu solo.
If anyone has an idea...

Code: 
https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html
