VPN service disappeared
The config, however, includes correct ca/cert/key stanzas:
ca=<redacted>ca.crt
cert=<redacted>michal.crt
key=<redacted>michal.key
The attached screenshot shows a related breakage in the GUI, after
making the correct certificate/key file selections, and saving the
config, the config file gets broken indeed:
ca=<redacted>ca.crt
cert=<redacted>ca.crt
# no key entry at all
