They should be right here, assuming you are on Fedora.

"Fedora:

    Building with OpenSSL (recommended):

    # yum install openssl-devel

    Building with mbed TLS (alternative):

    # yum install mbedtls-devel

    Generic build requirements:

    # yum install gcc-c++ git autoconf autoconf-archive automake make pkgconfig glib2-devel jsoncpp-devel libuuid-devel libcap-ng-devel selinux-policy-devel lz4-devel zlib-devel libxml2 tinyxml2-devel python3-dbus python3-gobject python3-pyOpenSSL python3-jinja2 python3-docutils python3-dbus bzip2 polkit

    Clone this git repository: git clone git://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn3-linux
    Enter the openvpn3-linux directory: cd openvpn3-linux
    Run: ./bootstrap.sh
Completing these steps will provide you with a ./configure script."

Thanks Borley, I'll give it a try and update the results here.

Hey Borley,

I've followed the instructions and built the openvpn3 client, thanks a lot!

Now I have a problem specific to the client, maybe you're familiar with it. After installing the openvpn3 I built, I've downloaded a .ovpn file and tried to use it to connect to my cloud openvpn server but I got an error:

$ openvpn3 session-start --config client.opvn
config-import: ** ERROR ** ERR_PROFILE_GENERIC: cannot open for read: client.opvn

I've researched on the web but could not solve the issue.

Would you have any clue?

Thanks again.

Stupid question but just checking: is the .ovpn file in the directory you ran that command from?

Hi ClassicHasClass,

Thanks for replying. The issue was that I needed to run the connection as root. Now everything works.

Cheers
