OpenVPN warning: No server certificate verification method has been enabled
Hi, I've got a new Orbi router (Model RBR20) and two satellites. The router's firmware is V2.1.4.16. I enabled OpenVPN on the Orbi router and it works fine with my mobile device. When I use OpenVP...
try adding
remote-cert-tls server
to the end of your config file that should remove the warning
FURRYe38 , No offense, but I would rather not spend 1+ hrs on the phone to hear a support agent who doesnt understand what openvpn is ask me to factory reset my router even though I just bought it fresh out of the box just a week ago and havent tweaked anything..... I guess this is what you get for spending close to 400$ on a high end product.
+1 FURRYe38 To your point, I did try contact support who claims there was no known issue without even lookin at the situation. Only claimed she would contact 2nd level support and call me back. This was 3 weeka ago and nothing!! This issue keeps popping up across multiple platforms and a firmware update fixes it. Your "latest and greatest" broke my vpn at the worst damn time as am traveling across asia for 3 weeks on holiday and needed access to my systems. NOTE: This worked perfectly fine before the update!! Please escalate this matter to your internal engineering team, should notntake long to reproduce what we are ALL telling is not working
Hopefully a forum Moderator can help you out.

I've been looking and hoping tagging someone on this forum might actually get someone to PM me with hopefully a link to grab some firmware or something.... Ive been needing to use the VPN feature on my router and if that doesn't work this is a deal breaker for me and I need to return my Orbi and go Velop instead.
- To my knowledge, this issue has never been resolved, and the tech support will only offer fruitless suggestions, like, reset the router back to factory settings.
I’ve just learned to live with a suboptimal solution, as it’s still better than browsing on an open network.
