This is useful - thankyou. So now if in future I want to submit some terminal output I'll type
Code:
script -a /tmp <filename.typescript>
and it will generate the terminal output as a readable file in the /tmp directory that FFox can access by default?

It clarifies communication between us, if nothing else. Now, you are left with a non-functional OpenVPN client system, and for that, I cannot help. You will have to wait for others on this forum, who to date have been silent on OpenVPN, or, you will have to reach out to the author of your guide, who has both comment tools on his web page as well a link at his site that provides an email address for more private contact or questions.

It looks that way and so I'm waiting on a reply from that articles author having now sumarised the issue to him. In the meantime, to troubleshoot it myself, I've just used
to compare the contents of my .ovpn file to what I've seen posted online by other users who have setup it up successfully. It looks similar, and its autogenerated by my VPN provider (ExpressVPN) so its probably sound code wise. the first line is
but apparently thats fine even when the hostname file makes reference to it being a tun0 (I thought that might have been the discrepancy). One thing that is different is the line which must be specifying the VPN servers URL
Code:
remote switzerland-ca-version-2.expressnetw.com 1195
where the port looks different to the 443 (HTTPS) that I see specified in other users .ovpn files. Is it possible that
pf doesn't like 1195 and its blocking it, whereas 443, being a more standard port, is allowed?
