I successfully created the client.ovpn file then ran this command
openvpn3 session-start --config <absolute_path_to_client.ovpn>
then it gave me this errorconfig-import: ** ERROR ** ERR_PROFILE_GENERIC: [inline], [inline], [inline], [inline]
what am i doing wrong please help me..Check https://gist.github.com/renatolfc/18e428b5a758df24455b#gistcomment-1764360. Syntax might have changed. You might be able to get away with removing the lines with
[inline]
.

thingy but it is still not working . any help will be appreciated thankx.
BTW I am using ubuntu 21.04
