Hi,

when importing an .ovpn file created by PiVPN, a VPN connection to my VPN server cannot be established on my phone. I am on Sailfish OS version 3.0.1.11

What did I do?

• go to the UI
• import the .ovpn file
• choose: Request login if needed (I don't know how it is titled in
  English, my system is in German)
• start the connection and type the name of the OpenVPN profile as
  username and the passphrase as
  password
• connect -> didn't work

If I recall correctly the PiVPN configuration files need only a passphrase for authentication and no username-password combination.

When I configure the vpn via console as root however, it works. Then I am also able to just type in the passphrase.

Is there any way in Sailfish to authenticate with just the passphrase? Alternatively, what do I need to change on my server so that I can use the config-files in Sailfish?

On my other non-Sailfish devices I can connect to my OpenVPN server.

Thanks
