problems installing openvpn client

following the instructions on the official vpn page (instructions install openvpn client) in the second step:

# curl -fsSL https://swupdate.openvpn.net/repos/openvpn-repo-pkg-key.pub | gpg --dearmor > /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/openvpn-repo-pkg-keyring.gpg

I get the following error message:

sudo curl -fsSL https://swupdate.openvpn.net/repos/openvpn-repo-pkg-key.pub | gpg --dearmor > /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/openvpn-repo-pkg-keyring.gpg
-bash: /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/openvpn-repo-pkg-keyring.gpg: Permission denied

The tutorial you posted is still valid, but as it was pointed out in the comments, you have to run the commands as superuser (I just tested sudo but it wouldn't work either).

Moreover, apt-key is mostly deprecated, so be careful with the accepted solution. If you follow the steps there, you will get a deprecation warning every time you run apt update.

I had a similar issue recently. Use

sudo wget https://swupdate.openvpn.net/repos/openvpn-repo-pkg-key.pub

and

sudo apt-key add openvpn-repo-pkg-key.pub
