Hello!
Wondering if it’s possible to distribute the profile of a user along with the installation of the client so they don’t need to import a profile when they begin. The .conf file seems doable, but the .ovpn profile contains a private key that I assume can’t be copy/pasted everywhere. Can I generate this profile on the user’s machine once installation is complete, programmatically? If so, I can just script it, but I didn’t see anything that seemed relevant in the documentation. We’re using SSO with Google, if that matters.
Thanks!

The [**client command line interface documentation**](https://docs.pritunl.com/kb/vpn/client/cli-interface) has more information on using the CLI. This can be used to add a profile after install. A [**silent install**](https://docs.pritunl.com/kb/vpn/client/silent-install) is also available with the Windows installer.
