    Good evening, I have a VPS server at OVH, Debian 9 is running there. According to this guide -> link , I tried to install an OpenVPN based VPN server, I never set up a VPN, and I probably broke something during configuration, the OpenVPN program in logs gives me such a message and I can't connect to the VPN itself.

    The ruler from ta.key in server.conf looks like this:

    Show client and server files.
    Do you have this key on Windows?
    You can also run vpn without it.

    This file, which I created according to this guide, I put in the directory where they ordered, but crashes the above error, how can I still connect to the VPN? In particular, I use windows temporarily, I work under macOS on a daily basis and I only have the option to log in to the VPN there, unfortunately my knowledge of VPN is quite modest, so you need to explain to me like green forks. :)

    What user is the VPN server running on? Does this user have access to this file? Maybe no permissions if the file exists.

    The user "nobody" according to the guide, now I have assigned him a sudo group, but nothing worked, I can assign chmod + x, but to what file? : /
