Move key-direction infront of tls-auth for old network-manager-openvp… #529

…n versions OpenVPN configs generated by pfsense currently do not work in network-manager-openvpn of Ubuntu 16.04 because of a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/1643282 One could argue that pfsense generates a perfectly valid config thus no change is needed but Ubuntu 16.04 is still very widespread and supported until 2021 and it does seem to affect many users (the error message is really unclear).

Has this been tested and proven to work with other clients? I get wanting to fix Ubuntu but we need to be certain that it doesn't break any others. |

I have tested it with the Windows OpenVPN GUI and it works fine there as well. In general these directions are not supposed to have an order so yes, this Pull Request would just be working around a bug in network manager, very likely not affecting any other clients.

In an effort to improve the tracking of changes and bug/feature requests, we have decided to require an entry on the pfSense Redmine issue tracker associated with every pull request, and likewise the Redmine entry should also have a link back to the pull request. If you could, please associate this PR to a Redmine issue either by locating an existing issue at https://redmine.pfsense.org or by creating a new issue. Add a link to the Redmine issue that points to this PR, and also add a link on the PR to the Redmine issue. For more information, see https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Submitting_a_Pull_Request_via_Github Thanks! |

I committed a slightly different version of this, it will be in snapshots for testing soon! |
