Please refer to the following steps to edit the .ovpn file.

• Open the.ovpn file with Word/Notepad++, and change the "ca ca.crt, cert client.crt, and key client.key" to XML-like format, for example  <ca> </ca>

• Open the ca.crt, and copy the certificate entries to the.ovpn file. 

• Save these changes and upload the.ovpn file to the Deco APP again.
