None of the methods on the net worked for me so I decided to ask. When I try to 

sudo openvpn --config client.ovpn

I get the result of

Wed Aug 2 22:53:18 2017 Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in client.ovpn:15: block-outside-dns (2.3.10)

I followed this https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-16-04#step-13-test-your-vpn-connection however, it didnot worked for me it give the tls connection error missing handshake so I tried the first comment on that page which people said it works flawlessly. Well I got this error.

My client.ovpn

client
dev tun
proto udp
sndbuf 0
rcvbuf 0
remote 146.*.*. 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
remote-cert-tls server
auth SHA512
cipher AES-256-CBC
comp-lzo
setenv opt block-outside-dns
key-direction 1
verb 3
<ca>
</ca>
<cert>
</cert>
<key>
</key>
<tls-auth>

And there is a static key

It can't find the cert files or they are not valid. Are they in the same folder as your openvpn config file? Paths are correct? Certs are valid?

  • When I created the client2.ovpn it does not give me any cert files ? should I take them from the server as well ? or should I create the cert files on the client computer ? – Barkın Tuncer Aug 04 '17 at 15:22
  • You have to create the cert files. I've read the howto you linked and there you will find all the steps – Federico Galli Aug 04 '17 at 19:13
