static key

[Kimito Sakata]

I was trying to setup the vpn for static key. I generated one via openvpn –genkey –secret static.key, SFTP copied it to both end points.

I tried both command arguments in the “parameter” field and the use of a config file (also sftped to the endpoints), and they both get in the log:

12:31:31 Options error: specify only one of –tls-server, –tls-client, or –secret
12:31:31 Use –help for more information.

If I type the whole argument at the bash shell from the console, it seems to work. Why can’t I do this through the config file or the command line?

The problem is that Zeroshell automatically configure OpenVPN to use TLS and therefore you cannot use the static key method from the web interface using an additional parameter.
