I have setup OpenVPN on my AC68U router (FW: 3.0.0.4.374.39), connected to it without issue from Android, iOS and PC (win7) devices. I now want this ability on my PC running ubunto v12 but am totally lost.

I have (afaik) installed the appropriate SW on this PC, imported the *.ovpn file using the network applet and from here I am lost. After the .ovpn file import, the Network Connection applet opens an editing window and within the "VPN" tab under the heading "Authentication" it is asking for several certification and/or Key files as well as a private key password. I have no idea where these files come from or how to obtain them. None were required by android or windows clients.

Where do I get these files from??
