How can you update the server.conf file? Everytime i try to update it it throws a permissions error. Same error happens on WinSCP and Cyberduck.

cert /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/Server.crt # SWAP WITH YOUR CRT NAME
key /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/Server.key # SWAP WITH YOUR KEY NAME

can someone explain what this means ? what is CRT and Key name or do i just leave it as so?

The following script in the repository enabled duplicate-cn by default. You don't want to change the config file.
