Set up a ProxyVM as a VPN gateway using iptables and CLI scripts

Where it says this:

Lastly, the VPN client may not be able to prompt you for credentials
when connecting to the server: Creating a file in the ‘vpn’ folder with
your credentials and using a directive such as openvpn’s auth-user-pass
<filename> is recommended.

It seems like this file needs to be changed to  be read-only, for the
appropriate ownership    based on the complaints that pop up, when
testing   in the terminal before  one doesn't notice it later, when not
using the terminal to start the openvpn --config

File "is group or others accessible" is a common configuration "mistake" on installations that are not multi-user, such as routers. A proxy VM is basically a router, and its expected that you won't be running apps as regular user in there. If that's the case you can disregard the warning.

OTOH, if you wish to satisfy the warning you can set privs like this:

chmod 600 /rw/config/vpn/filename.txt
