Where are OpenVPN config files stored?
How to edit/use them?
A directory is created when you install OpenVPN. It is usually named something like "etc/openvpn". That directory can be found at your home directory, or a user specific one.
For example, if you installed OpenVPN using the Ubuntu repositories, it will be located at /etc/openvpn. If you installed it on another computer, you will find that directory in /usr/local/etc/openvpn.
Any file you create inside of that directory is stored in that directory. For example, you could use the "client.conf" and "server.conf" files to create a new configuration for OpenVPN, and then you could have both files located inside of the "etc/openvpn" directory. They would be saved to that directory when you use the "sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/client.conf" and "sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/server.conf" commands.
It is not necessary to name your "etc/openvpn" directory anything special; it will work if you just name it "etc". You can also use the "sudo openvpn --config-dir

How to run OpenVPN from cmd?
I am a newbie to OpenVPN and would like to run the .
Ovpn from the command line.
I have a client in the .ovpn file (it works). I would like to open a terminal on my Mac (MacBook Pro - OS X 10.9.5) and execute the .ovpn file that has already been installed on my server using the ip address for the server that was already created.
I have not done anything with VPNs or servers at all. I am not sure what command I should type to start a tunnel.ovpn and got "Unable to locate *ovpn: No such file or directory"
Please help! Thank you. The script you run needs to be in the ~/.profile directory, and have execution permission set. The script itself can be something simple, such as
#!/bin/bash. Cd ~/Downloads; open '
If your command line is bash, you can also use. To make the cd work. Alternatively, you could open the .ovpn file from the Finder and the file opens when double-clicked.
