extract the certificate and key from an .ovpn file

explode-opvn.sh

#!/bin/bash
 
# This script will extract the certificate and key from an .ovpn file
# into their own files, which makes it possible to use them to configure
# the VPN using Ubuntu's network manager
 
# Usage example:
# >> ovpnconvert username.dev.ovpn
 
# You can keep following these instructions here:
