I always get this error message. My Private Key is embedded in my ovpn file i don't get why the manager is looking for one. Once i created a key file with the key from the ovpn file but got thes ame error.
Sorry if its a stupid request.

So i hope this is the correct log.
By the way the openvpn connection works perfectly when i execute it over the console over ssh (putty). I give the path of the ovpn file and give my password and it works. But i would prefer if your app would work.
In this place thanks for your time!!

You've got a password on your key file right?
As opposed to a password to connect to the VPN

well the thing is i produced a ovpn file with my raspberry pi on pivpn. and i had to choose a password.
i think its just a password to connect to the vpn but im not sure.

if i had one would it be the same? if not then it must be for the connection itself.

They're different - I think one appears to lock the key, I've never used it personally, the usual password combo is needed to authenticate with your provider.

If you've locked the key (or your VPN provider has), then your problem is a duplicate of #60

Otherwise, use the the User Defined wizard and it all should work. Just upload the ovpn when asked and enter the user/password in the GUI. If you want to upload the ovpn, etc to the UserDefined directory then you'll need to follow the errors through and work out what it's not working. I can't do that for you as I don't know what your ovpn files are asking for, or what your directory structure is.

well i am using the wizard. i upload the ovpn file and the pass.txt. type my password in and then this error occurs.
The thing is i also observed that when i use the askpass command the addon doesnt recongnise it. it says in the import log. pass.txt was used 0 times in ovpn file. and it does it for all commands i add like the auth-user-pass command. i triple checked the PATH.
