 ### Preparing OpenVPN configs
 If you have a folder of OpenVPN configs that end in `.ovpn`, then run this to modify them slightly:
 ```bash
-    cd my/openvpn/directory
-    ls *ovpn|while read line; do O=$(echo $line|sed 's/ //g'); mv "$line" "$O"; do
-ne
+cd my/openvpn/directory

+ls *ovpn|while read line; do O=$(echo $line|sed 's/ //g'); mv "$line" "$O"; done
 
 ls *ovpn|while read vpn; do echo 'keepalive 10 60
