MD5-Signed Certificate Warning with OpenVPN on iOS
As of version 1.2.8 of the OpenVPN app on iOS, OpenVPN issues the following warning: > WARN TLS: received certificate signed with MD5. > Please inform your admin to upgrade to a > stronger algori...
FYI, I documented the steps to required to replace the certificates here. Unfortunately it the steps are written for users of Windows, but it also uses mostly cross-platform OpenSource tools and explains what's going on so I think it should be pretty translatable if you don't have access to any Windows boxes.
Just posting this so you have at least one go-forward path.
I just purchased my D7800 from Amazon Prime UK yesterday and received it today (26th April). Having purchased it for, amongst other things it's VPN Server capabilities, I was astounded to see the MD5 Support warning for OpenVPN when I set it up this evening (using OpenVPN Connect for my iPhone). What are Netgear playing at? They are completely hopeless and I see JamesGL the NETGEAR Moderator has gone very quiet this month - very ominous!
Well, for me at least I can return it straight back to Amazon if the firmware to correct this is not delivered by the end of next Monday (30th April). I'll then have to look for alternative modem/routers from another brand. Shame, but it seems the Netgear software guys are hopeless at their job.
If they don't fix it in the next 4 days across all their applicable routers and modem/routers I guess they will have to provide many "not fit for purpose" return refunds in the coming weeks, and also change all their online web advertising/marketing claims and packaging/boxing to remove their claim of OpenVPN Server capability. I’m sure they would not want to be accused of false advertising!
What is going on? Please let me know if anything is going to get updated in the R7000 to resolve yhis issue. Time is running out!!!
If Netgear can't comply, with some or all the routers, just say so. I need to move on!!!
