By default, OpenVPN does not save the username and password which
requires you to input them in each time you connect to the server. This
is good from a security perspective, but there are sometimes where it
is required to have this information saved to permit automatic logins to
OpenVPN.
If you need to save the username and password to a VPN connection, follow the steps below.
- Navigate to your config folder for OpenVPN. Some common paths for this folder are:
- Windows - C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\config
- Linux - /etc/openvpn
- Mac (Tunnelblick) - ~/Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Configurations
If you have a subfolder within the config folder where your
configuration files/certs reside, make sure to dive down to that folder.
- Create a new text file in this folder. We'll name ours "auth.txt".
The contents of this text file should simply be two lines. The first
line should be your username, and the second should be your password.
Save this file.
- Now open your OpenVPN config file, which should be in the same
folder, in a text editor (if on Windows use Notepad++ instead of
Notepad). These files typically end in a .ovpn extension. Find the line
that says "auth-user-pass" and change it to "auth-user-pass auth.txt",
where "auth.txt" is the name of the file containing your username and
password. Save this file.
- Try to connect to OpenVPN. You may need to restart the OpenVPN client and you should now connect without a username and password prompt!
