How to provide Private Key Password on Deco X50 OpenVPN Client?

Model: Deco X50  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.10

I'm trying to set up an OpenVPN client on the Deco X50. I can enter the username and password, and I upload the .ovpn file which contains the certificates.

However, the client certificate requires a Private Key Password, and the Deco doesn't seem to prompt for it or provide a way to enter it.

How can I provide the Private Key Password, or is there any supported method to handle this on the Deco X50?

Hi, which OpenVPN service do you plan to connect to via Deco X50? Can you share some support links for this VPN server?

I don't think there is any option on the Deco APP that allows for an extra Private Key Password, but I can check with the engineer later if you can help me find more details about this VPN service.

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

  @David-TP am using OpenVPN to connect to the company's OpenVPN server.
The company has a VPN via an OpenVPN server, for which I need a username, password, and certificate (CA, CERT, ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY)

Hi, Thanks for the update.

There was an FAQ to manually create the OpenVPN config file with CA. I think it might help your case:

Create OpenVPN config file with your own Certificate Authority

Best regards.
