OpenVPN linux
Can anyone assist me with connecting to my existing OpenVPN setup (on RBR50) via a Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) client? I can connect great from my iPhone, but need some help getting my Linux laptop to connect. Has anyone tried/succeeded?
My Linux Mint laptop connects to Orbi VPN. I used the *.ovpn file that gets download when I selected "smartphone", rather then the file that said, "non-Windows". The ovpn file has all of the information bundled into one file.
There is also a difference in which types of connections operating systems support. Windows allows "tap" connections ans smartphones do only "tun" connections.
