openvpn help - key issues

[h311_fir3]

Hi all,

Thanks for taking the time to read this post, any help would be great.

I currently have a packet squirrel with the latest firmware installed. i am trying to use it as a vpn client like shown in Hak5 2308. However i am using a private vpn service that provides me with 4 different cet files.

ca keys/ca.crt
cert keys/name.crt
key keys/name.key
tls-auth keys/tls-auth.key 1

How would I need to go about using this with the packet squirrel?

I have tried to add a directory for the keys in the payload folder.

I have also tried to embed the certs into the config.ovpn file. However i may have done it incorrectly.

The best way would be to embed the certs in your config file. There are a bunch of scripts out there that will make this easy for you.

would you be able to point me in the right direction for one of said scripts

Take a look at this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-16-04#step-11-generate-client-configurations

Just above step 11 is a script you can use.

that didn't seam to work for this provider, the provider provides me with a .ovpn config file, and the script calls for a 

BASE_CONFIG=~/client-configs/base.conf

however my config.ovpn is not working
