That is why I have it on a server that most of the time is just off.
I my case I could just stuff it in a zip/tar file and get it out when I need 
it. I only had update last year.

Rather not switch to Windows fort hat stuff. Like I wrote, I only have a few 
OpenVPN connections and for me easy-rsa is easy enough, it just that expiration 
date on the CRL file.

I tried
     $OPENSSL ca -gencrl -days $SA_EXPIRE -out "$CRL" -config "$KEY_CONFIG"
but that still generated a crl file for one month.
