I followed a guide on creating your own VPN using OpenVPN and only encountered two errors from openVPN guide. I think my VPN is created but I thought this would be useful since I am in Libraries using open WiFi.
When I ran sudo ufw allow OpenSSH I got an error message: ERROR: Could not find a profile matching 'OpenSSH'
Another issue I encounter was after I ran sftp tim@openvpn_server_ip:client-configs/files/client1.ovpn ~/ I received the message ssh: Could not resolve hostname openvpnserverip: Name or service not known Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer
Thanks for any help in advance! I tried running the second command again and it wouldn't terminate so I had to ctrl + c it myself

I have encountered the same ERROR:
ERROR: Could not find a profile matching 'OpenSSH' So what I did was to run:
sudo apt-get install ssh After installing, I ran:
cd ~/openvpn-ca sudo ufw allow OpenSSH And I verified it with:
sudo ufw status I hope it will work for you too!
$ sudo ufw allow OpenSSH ERROR: Could not find a profile matching 'OpenSSH' Run
sudo apt-get install ssh and then:
$ sudo ufw allow OpenSSH Rules updated Rules updated (v6) $ sudo ufw status Status: inactive $ sudo ufw enable Firewall is active and enabled on system startup $ sudo ufw status Status: active To Action From -- ------ ---- 8080 ALLOW Anywhere OpenSSH ALLOW Anywhere 8080 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) OpenSSH (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
