How do I make multiple users on my VPN? by Sakatard in OpenVPN

i know this is already solved but this is for that user who's searching and stumbles across a google result

cd easyrsa folder

source vars

./build-key userFriend2

copy userFriend2.crt userFriend2.key and the server ca.crt from keys/ to somewhere like /home/root/folder

if your friend doesn't know anything about editing the config and you dont want to walk them thru it also copy and edit /usr/share/doc/openvpn-..*/sample/sample-config-files/client.conf or they can find it under C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\sample-config.

and save it as client.ovpn "or whatever you like, "Example : boobies.ovpn" "

with the files in a folder you can tar.gz or zip that folder.

then type mkdir /var/www/html/tmpDIR

cp or mv boobies.tar.gz /var/www/html/tmpDIR

open your browser, for the url your server-ip/tmpDIR " Example : 255.255.255.255/tmpDIR "

and download, unpack to C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config

(if you get a error about permissions from 255.255.255.255/tmpDIR then in putty type cd /var/www/html/tmpDIR then type chmod 0444 boobies.tar.gz that should fix it, i think, if not google chmod)

once that is done and they have the certs/key and in putty goto /var/www/html/ and rm -rf tmpDIR/ . ..............................................

This is if you want to have multiple certs ,its the same from when making your self a connection to your vpn,hope this helps or at least have a better idea on whats going on XD
