I seem to have missed your mention of pfSense.
So, basically, you have a router/firewall from them that supplies an
openVPN service. My router, an ASUS, also does that. It provides an
openVPN config file and it imports and works just fine under Windows,
Linux, iPhone, and Android. It is suppose to work with MacOS but I
can't test that.

I didn't intend to give you that impression. I don't think you're
trying to waste my time. I was asking about a VPN Provider since it
would have been my plan to join the service and apply for my own
connection and get an account, ovpn file, and the certs needed to test
for myself.
What I am saying is that without a way for me to actually test what
you're doing I don't think I can help you. It would be a pure guessing
game for me. I prefer to recreate a difficult problem and then work to
resolve it.

Sorry Ed, I had a rough day and I probably percieved a tone in your reply that was not there. My apologies. I did not think anyone would go to that much trouble in order to help troubleshoot a VPN issue for a stranger. Honestly :)
Anyway yeah it's our Firewall at work.. pf supplies the ovpn, the ca.crt and the .key file. What I do not know if I am missing is the client cert. I understand your position, Ive been in IT for 20 years so I can appreciate wanting to reproduce a problem to help resolve it.
Let me ask.. could you generate an OpenVPN server on your ASUS with the same settings as ours? If so maybe there's a different format to the .ovpn for linux. When you set yours up did the ASUS give you the option to create configs for the different OS's or is it one config to rule them all?
