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.
Wow, some people here are just whinning to much. Netgear support said that they are working on a fix. It is in Beta testing right now. I assume you would want a fix that is working and does not have bugs in it. Also, it was stated earlier that the date OpenVPN was saying is not a hard date. It was a soft date. You can still use the app and connect to your home router. As for the person that said he would be taking his back to Costo, and buying a Cisco one. I did a Cisco router, and the first chance it was hit with a surge, the router died. It was connected to a surge protector, and when I bought the Netgear and still was hit, the Netgear router still turned back on and is still kicking.
So I would say, that I have Netgear's back. If you don't like the product, just take it back and get your money or go somewhere else. Also, the person that said that only one router is updated with the fix and what about the little people with other routers, I have a Nighthawk R8500 and I don't have the fix yet. But I am not complaining......
news flash: never post just to see your post on a forum. Your lack of information may confuse users that have true product issues. Here are some facts you may want to verify on your own since you are surely highly educated (not)
1) The VPN issue was announced months in advance from OpenVPN.Most if not all Netgear routers using that solution are no longer providing VPN. This was a hard date and netgear knew about it.
2) People are not whinning on this forum they are expressing a total lack of customer service to the end user from Netgear that states VPN services exist through OpenVPN
3) There are business that no longer have the encryption layer they need for security promised from netgear
4) Routers are used for more then gaming in your moms basement
5) Before you attack a group of users get your facts straight.
I flashed R7000-V1.0.9.30_10.2.33_beta to make use of the VPN again. All else had been flawless for a couple years foregoing the use of OpenVPN these past months. LAN functions are corrupting since flashing the new firmware.
After flashing the new firmware I successfully connected a VPN client to the router yet hadn't tasked any data transfers. First thing I noticed was some LAN connections were only passing internet traffic at a little more than 11mbps on a 300mpbs connection. The same PCs would pass WLAN traffic via the router at full throughput (300mbps). Disabling VPN function nor rebooting the router didn't correct the problem. Only when the unit was hard reset (R7000-V1.0.9.30_10.2.33_beta remains on the router) did it start correctly passing LAN to WAN traffic again at full throughput.
Hoping that my not hard resetting the unit before flashing the latest firmware was the crux of the problem, I started pushing traffic over the VPN. I succesfully pushed 70GB over the VPN in the past 24 hours until LAN connections were again being corrupted. This time they were no longer passing ANY internet traffic. The DHCP server wouldn't renew any LAN IP addresses. WLAN connections pass internet traffic fine and can ping the gateway, yet even the WLAN connections couldn't reach the gateway GUI at 192.168.1.1.Rebooting the router restored all functions for the moment.
What a disappointment. Netgear has known about this security and loss of VPN function issue since Nov 7, 2017. Instead of Netgear beta testing from November/December onwards, Netgear has released this BETA firmware at the last moment of the OpenVPN deadline.
