the end of ovpn file generated by softether

Code: Select all

# Client certificate and key.
# 
# A pair of client certificate and private key is required in case you want to
# use the certificate authentication.
# 
# To enable it, uncomment the lines below.
# Paste your certificate in the <cert> block and the key in the <key> one.

Where can i have the cert and the key certificate code?

Ignore it, not used. VPN Gate's OVPN config has more...

# The client certificate file (dummy).
# In some implementations of OpenVPN Client software
# (for example: OpenVPN Client for iOS),
# a pair of client certificate and private key must be included on the
# configuration file due to the limitation of the client.
# So this sample configuration file has a dummy pair of client certificate
# and private key as follows.

The cert and key must be generated when the user is created.
To do this, you need to:
1) Access the hub
2) Go to Manage Users
3) Click on Create new user
4) In the "Create new user" windows, select Auth type = Individual Certificate Authentication"
5) On the right, the "Individual Certificate Authentication settings" should be now enabled so click on "Create certificate" to create the Cert and Key.
6) Add the content of these files to your OVPN file.
I hope it helps.

No, it confuses. "Individual Certificate Authentication" is not supported in OVPN mode.
