Hello! You're dealing with an OpenVPN server at home and trying to connect your Chromebook using the built-in VPN feature. Since you don't have access to the Google Play Store, you can still use the OpenVPN client directly. I've noticed that the .OVPN file contains more information than just the connection details—you can extract additional components like the CA certificate from it. Would you like guidance on how to do that?

By viewing the .ovpn file in a text editor, you can retrieve all details, such as the CA.

Your current file includes the CA details. I configured the server using Angristan's OpenVPN Script. After opening it in Notepad, the .ovpn appears with the specified certificate and key information. Let me know if you need further clarification.

The file for a Chromebook functions identically across all device types. Use the details from your existing .ovpn configuration.
