> It's quite easy, using pfSense VMs as VPN gateways.

One privacy tool that I'd like to see is a program that takes a .ovpn file and user credentials and outputs a pfSense config file which the user just has to import.

Following a guide like yours is quite a bit of work and somewhat error prone. Few users will be able and willing to do that.

This is available within pfSesne. There is a package called openvpn-client-export that exports the pfSense config to .ovpn and a number of other config/packages.

I agree that it's tedious and error-prone. Perhaps someone could automate it. But that's over my head.

There is the argument that, in doing the setup manually, users come to understand what they're doing. But yes, it seems that most are put off by it all.
