This is a python script to generate client OpenVPN configuration files. This is based mostly on the easyrsa script and is much simpler to understand.

# OpenVPN is fairly simple since it works on OpenSSL. The OpenVPN server contains
# a root certificate authority that can sign sub-certificates. The certificates
# have very little or no information on who they belong to besides a filename
# and any required information. Everything else is omitted or blank.
# The client certificate and private key are inserted into the .ovpn file
# which contains some settins as well and the entire thing is then ready for
# the user.

# EasyRSA generates a standard unsigned certificate, certificate request, and private key.
# It then signs the certificate against the CA then dumps the certificate request in the trash.
# The now signed certificate and private key are returned.

# Create a new keypair of specified algorithm and number of bits.

Should probably not be code reviewing free stuff that saves you time and effort for an arbitrary thing like your linting settings. Otherwise, this is a collaboration website, if it bothers you, commit/fork :D

Should I just run this or what should I do to get the config file.

Not entirely sure why this script has gotten so much attention lately, I've not used OpenVPN since Wireguard has come out.

The script was basically just crap code I wrote quickly to get a job done so there's no real user interface for it. You have to modify line #170 for your needs following the arguments listed on line #139. I have no intention on updating or maintaining this script and there's lots of other guides out there on how to use OpenVPN. If you're using this script inside a python program, I would suggest just taking a look at PKI in general since openvpn just uses self-signed openssl certificates for authentication.

I have this error

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'common.txt'

Is common.txt my server.conf or should i filter comments first?

I have this error

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'common.txt'

same error
