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,

Daniel
