Hi there, I’m about to set up an OVPN server and recognized the reworked GUI.

Now what I’m missing is the “Additional Configuration” checkbox to include:

/var/ipfire/ovpn/scripts/client.conf.local and  
/var/ipfire/ovpn/scripts/server.conf.local

I used this to configure additional password authentication for the clients to login.

Why did you remove it? Is there another chance to include additional configuration?

Thank you in advance.
