VPN Failes to connect after following DigitalOcean tutorial

Posted on February 24, 2020

I run a Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Droplet. After trying to follow DigitalOcean’s tutorial on making an OpenVPN server, the client failes to connect. I think it’s some TLS error (Screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Kw69juBOpPxLF7l0tckrKj1Sz0s_NUl8/view?usp=sharing). Please help me get this fixed. Thanks!

Also, I’m new to this so please forgive me if I did something dumb :)

Hi there,

I just came across this question.

What I could suggest for anyone who comes across this in the future, is to use this 1-Click installation option here instead:
