⁠How to Use this container

If you would like to create a new vpn user you just need to run the command: */root/bin/new_client.sh That command will ask you to enter in the device name for which you are creating the certificate and it will then put together a tar package of the key, cert, ca cert, and client.ovpn file in the /etc/openvpn/certPacks/ directory. It will also create a self contained ovpn file which can just be imported into most OpenVPN clients which has the cert, key, ca cert all embedded into it.
