How to prepare file .ovpn

Step

1. Copy the data inside the tags <ca></ca> <cert></cert> <key></key> and encode those values to base64. Then save those values (without a new line!) to the secrets in github actions

2. In the .ovpn file in your repo, remove the tags <ca></ca> <cert></cert> <key></key>

This will allow the values to be filled in from Github secrets.

3. If your open vpn configuration has a username and password please encode those in base64. After that, save the values in the github actions secrets. format username password username-vpn password-vpn

4. If open vpn have tag <tls></tls> please repeat step 1 and 2 for the TLS records.
