OpenVPN Server configuration override

[FredTheFrog]

There are quite a number of articles (many of them outdated) on configuring OpenVPN, but most of them are about configuring the router as an OpenVPN client to a commercial OpenVPN server/service. I want to configure OpenVPN on my Merlin RT-AC86U as a server, to allow securely remoting into my home LAN. I previously had OpenVPN running on DD-WRT, but am still learning Merlin. Can I override the default server certificate, private key, and other configuration files? Is it as simple as placing them in /jffs/configs/ somewhere? Any and all URL pointers to FAQs or existing Merlin (not OpenVPN) documentation will be greatly appreciated.

Have you looked at the Merlin wiki? There's various pages on there relating to VPN but I don't know how up to date they are.

Just started clean with an empty directory beneath OpenVPN/easy-rsa. Will try again, following that page. I must have missed/skipped something, somewhere. Thanks, Colin!

Yup, starting from scratch, insuring consistent copy/paste operations, and now it's working.
Thanks for the support, Colin!!
