here are the contents of my .ovpn file, i've checked it against other files posted by users here and other forums and couldn't find any difference, but maybe i missed something :
client
dev tun
remote servername.com 1194
proto udp
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
;user nobody
;group nogroup
persist-key
persist-tun
;mute-replay-warnings
ca ca.crt
cert ticktock666.crt
key ticktock666.key
tls-auth tls-auth.key 1
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 9
mute 20

i will test your openvpn version, i'm using the one from the repos atm

eidt : i've downloaded the zip file and extracted it on n900 and got a file named "openvpn" , renamed it to openvpn.deb and tried to open it with app manager but it says file is corrupted and won't install ? what am i doing wrong ?
