I have setup OpenVPN on my TP-Link home router. It works very nice. Now I can VPN into my home network (from my Cellphone or Tablet or Laptop), from anywhere in the World. The question is, as an extra safety measure I would like to add the Google Authenticator. I have installed the Google Authenticator application on my laptop (Windows 10). How should I proceed? Do I need a OpenVPN account? What for? I don't use the OpenVPN Server!
I'm assuming you're referring to the admin-access to the server itself? I have not been able to find a way. But as long as you're only allowing internal access to the administrative side it should be ok.
Great tip, helped a lot, congratulations. This tip is valid for openvpn users but for the default openvpn user (admin) it didn't work. I'm using OpenVPN Server 2.8.5 (EC2 instance). Have another tip? Tks.
Hrrm. What's the exact problem you are running into? I never really had a problem with the admin account, but I always manage that from within netwrok and not via the VPN. You can remote in, then RDP to a server and manage from a web-browser on that server-session.

This video should have the entire process you need. Unless i am missing something in your question?
Is there a way to add MFA to the access server?
