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.

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
