Orbi CBR 750 with OpenVPN for home setup?
Hello, I got some great help from Netgear on my OpenVPN install. It's up and running on my Orbi. Next step is to install certificate authentication to secure the connection. Does anyone have experi...
I keep getting warnings that state no certificate verification has been enabled. I installed OpenVPN 2.5.4 on my Windows 10 machine.
The same warnings directed me to visit the OpenVPN website. When I tried to get help there, the posts I found directed me ... back here.
Searching on this page led me here:
https://openvpn.net/community-resources/how-to/#numbering-private-subnets
But the most recent version of OpenVPN referred to is 2.3.x.
Before I go through all of the steps described for that, I want to know if there is a better/easier/other way to generate certificates with OpenVPN 2.5.4
I saw other posts here that said it's automatic, but that has not been my experience so far.
Thanks again for any help you can offer.
That OpenVPN page is pointing out that the "local LAN" subnet for the client machine must be different from the local LAN for the host.
i.e. If the Orbi LAN is 192.168.1.x, then the client must not be in the same subnet on its end. This is likely to happen when the remote client is connected to another consumer router that defines the local LAN the same way the Orbi does (192.168.1.x).
I have been fortunate because I always test my OpenVPN connections by creating a Hot Spot on my smartphone and the smartphone defines its LAN as 192.168.43.x (why they picked 43 is an interesting question).
This would seem to have nothing to do with certificates. Will need to do more research on that question.
