RBR50 with single Satallite on the latest V2.2.1.210 and same issue on Windows 10. This issue was reported back in August so is there a work around or fix?  I don't see any newer firmeware updates to help. Please advise, thank you.

    I am having the same issue with openvpn service on v2.2.1.210 as well.  my W10 client openvpn is stating "WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled."  Is there a firmware fix for this and can you send me a DM to fix this issue?

     

    Thanks.

      I'm having the same problem.  Here is the info about my router:

      Hardware Version RBR40
      Firmware Version V2.2.1.210

      I also have 1 satelite. Here is the message I'm getting:

      Wed Dec 26 12:10:43 2018 WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled.  See http://openvpn.net/howto.html#mitm for more info.

      That web page was of no help. If there is a solution to this problem, please let me know. One of the reasons I purchased the Orbi over one of the other mesh routers out there was that it included a VPN service and now that service isn't working (and never has).

       

      Thank you,

        I recommend you contact NG support about this.
