Hello all

I have been trying to install openvpn using these instructions: wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/openvpn-streamlined-server-setup

I have everything else set but I don't know how to encrypt the keys. I'm mediocre with computers and it seems useless with Linux. It seems GnuPG without any other instructions is just too difficult for me.

I would really appreciate any help.

If there is any use, I get this error when trying to start the server:

It appears you have set a password on your server certificate private key.  I'm not sure how to configure for that, if it is possible.  Remove the password or create a new cert / key pair.

Thank you mk24. That was it (and it was also in the instructions) and the server is now running. I will try to connect to it later today and we will see if its working.

There was quite a bit of typos on those command lines. If I get this working how should I contact to get those corrected?
