This is +by design. OpenVPN can technically use any config file in any location. +However, this script does create an /etc/openvpn/ directory with certs/ +and keys/ subdirectories. Feel free to place config files, keys, and +certificates in these directories. certs/ and keys/ are owned by user +root and group nobody and are not world readable nor writable. +Additionally, they are not writable by group nobody. It is recommended +that you run openvpn nobody:nobody, but you may use another +non-privilaged user and group at your option. Just change the +permissions on these permissions to reflect that if you do. + |
