Hi all,

 

My curiosity got the best of me, so tonight I upgraded the RBR20 router to the latest firmware, v2.2.0.68.  After the firmware update successfully applied and my Internet connection restored, I disconnected my laptop from my home network and connected it to my mobile phone's hotspot, so I could establish an OpenVPN connection outside my home's network.

 

I connected to my hotspot fine, started OpenVPN just fine, but, alas, I get the same warning message:  "No server certificate verification method has been enabled."

 

The latest router firmware doesn't resolve this issue.  :(
