Description

pfSense Version: pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.3-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz ( https://nyifiles.pfsense.org/mirror/downloads/pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.3-RELEASE-amd64.img.gz )

It seems that, for whatever reason, Ubuntu's OpenVPN importing client does not like the way the .ovpn files are built. When attempting to import a config it fails to ever connect. My server uses TLS auth and when I download my configs from the OpenVPN Client Export tool it sticks the `key-direction X` after the `<tls></tls>` section which Ubuntu does not like for some reason. To fix this all I've had to do was move the key-direction above my keys.

Attached you should find 2 .ovpn files that display the change I have made.

Is there any way for OpenVPN Client Export to group the key-direction with the other OpenVPN directives at the top of the file? Are there any issues that fix would cause?

Thanks for your teams hard work. pfSense is amazing! The only router software I've actually enjoyed using.
