Question

I want to add a new profile in AWS VPN client having three files:

• vpn.ovpn
• vpn.companyName.com.crt
• vpn.companyName.com.key When I try to add vpn.ovpn I'm getting the error:

"File path: ~/ssh.vpn.companyName.com.crt is in invalid format. It may be a path to a remote server, which is not allowed for security reasons. Only absolute paths are accepted"

Answer 1

1. vpn.companyName.com.crt
2. vpn.companyName.com.key

Solution:

open vpn.ovpn file and scroll to bottom and edit your path to correct location
