Does anyone have any clue?
I 100% followed the ArchWiki instruction, and it showed me Easy-RSA error.

This post amounts to nothing more than a bump. Do not do this. People volunteer their time to help here as they can and when they know the answer or have suggestions to offer.

Nothing immediately comes to mind for me, but I've not had time or opportunity to play around with easy-rsa.

All the best,

Re: EasyRSA setup error from the 1st step in ArchWiki.

Either change out of /etc/easy-rsa/ after exporting EASYRSA or do not set EASYRSA.
