Ubuntu – OpenVPN Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) – Ubuntu 16.04

openvpnUbuntu

I have a problem to run my client on windows OpenVPN Client, i created my file and when i try to launch it, error is given:

Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in client1.ovpn:133: < (2.4.4)

That is strange because line 133 is a < ca > tag:

# script-security 2
# up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
# down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
< ca >
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

And it was generated when i generated a file, so i don't really know what to do.

Best Answer

The correct syntax is <ca>, not < ca >.
