openvpn: WARNING: file 'user.key' is group or others acessible

Recommended Posts

Hello!,

 

When connecting on linux via the command 'sudo openvpn AirVPN_America_UDP-443.ovpn' I get the error in the subject line.

 

It appears that I'm connected without problems but just wanted to check.  I'm running the latest versions of Arch linux, openvpn, openssl, and have seperated keys/certs from ovpn files.

 

The files are all in my home directory with permissions -rw-r--r--

 

Thank you for your help

Hello!

 

It's a warning, not an error. The system warns you that the key is accessible by a whole group. Just change the ownership and flags (if necessary) of the file to fix it. For example, make it readable only by root.

 

Kind regards
