Ok, I don't know if this is something I need to setup on my computer or if this is something that the client needs to give me. I believe a .key file is private, however, I seem to be having issues with this.

Basically, I need to access a Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection, but before I can do this I need to run OpenVPN (which is not a program that is available for MacOSX, only for Windows PCs). So, after some research I discovered Tunnelblick is the next best thing on MacOSX computers. However, the .ovpn file (that I received from the client) does not install on Tunnelblick due to wrong .crt and .key file locations (which are on the clients Windows Computer), but Tunnelblick also needs a ca file I believe. I don't know where I am supposed to get these files from. Do I generate them myself, or is this something that the client should be giving me? I tried generating these files myself (crt and key), but I keep getting errors, so not sure what to do here.

Tried creating these files via this page here: http://brianflove.com/2014/12/01/self-signed-ssl-certificate-on-mac-yosemite/

But Tunnelblick is not connecting when adding the crt and key files in the .ovpn file.

Figured I'd ask on here first before I spend days researching this.

Your ovpn file should contain ca certificates, openvpn crt and private key. All this information should be received from openvpn provider.
