easy-rsa 3.2

  • Note the procedure was verified against 3.2.5 in addition to 3.2.0.
  • Document that build-client-full prompts for a yes confirmation on 3.2.x
    and rolls back the req/key if unanswered, plus the non-interactive
    easyrsa --batch build-client-full ... nopass route. Both call sites updated.

openvpn3

  • Make openvpn3 the documented VPN client: connection intro and the Connect to
    VPN section now use config-import, session-start, sessions-list, and
    session-manage --disconnect.
  • Drop the untested openvpn 2.x CLI path, keeping only a passing note that it
    may work but is not covered.
  • Add a tip to build a test .ovpn by reusing an existing endpoint profile and
    swapping only the <cert>/<key> blocks instead of re-downloading from the
    AWS console.

The revoke + CRL-import-at-endpoint steps were accurate and are unchanged.

Closes #377

Document the easy-rsa 3.2.x interactive confirmation prompt for
build-client-full alongside the non-interactive --batch route, note
verification against 3.2.5, and add an openvpn3 connection workflow
(config-import, session-start, session-manage --disconnect) plus a tip to
reuse an existing endpoint profile by swapping only the client cert/key.

Closes #377
The openvpn 2.x CLI path has not been tested in a long time. Make openvpn3
the documented client and reduce the 2.x reference to a passing mention that
it may work but is not covered.
