VPN service settings
I enabled VPN service on the router and generated the .ovpn file for my iphone. When testing, I'm able to connect but before it actually connects, a window pops up regarding TLS certificate signed with MD5 (see picture attached). Is this something that is going to get updated since openvpn will be dropping MD5 by end of this month (April)?
When connected to vpn and check ip via "whats my ip", I'm not seeing the routers IP address (ISP) but my cellular carrier IP address. When I use the VPN from my old router and connect via VPN, I see the router ip (ISP) and not that of the cellular carrier. In addition, I'm unable to connect to one of my internal home network cameras via VPN. Again, with my old router this is not an issue.

Ok, so when I enabled the vpn service, I left "clients will use this VPN connection to access" in auto mode. This setting apparently doesn't work correctly. After changing the setting from auto to All sites on the internet & home network, I was able to connect to my internal camera and now when I check ip on the browser, I see the ip of the router (isp) and not the cellular carrier ip address.
Still would like to know the issue with MD5 and openvpn no longer supporting.
- Great to hear you found the solution, thanks for letting us know. I imagine it will be yes. Netduma are working on a new version of VPN so it will be all up to date on that.
I just want to be clear that I'm not refering to the VPN client but the VPN service where you download the confi file from the router to access your network via vpn. Since openvpn is dropping support at the end of April and we are in the middle of the month, is there going to be a firmware drop for this fix?
