Netgear R7000 and OpenVPN for Android App
Hi, since last OpenVPN for Android App update (v.0.6.73) downloadable at the following link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn OpenSSL version was upgraded to 1.1 and...
Thanks everyone for feedback so far. Attached is version 1.0.1. I fixed some typos, added a suggestion to clean up your tftp folder when you're done, and made a note about the OpenVPN version that's most compatible with the document.
Some users looking to work through this doc may find that they can avoid Step 1 by visiting this hidden page:
If the debug page loads and there is an "Enable Telnet" option then you got lucky. Note that either the debug page or the option to "Enable Telnet" may not exist on your device or firmware version. Remember to check that this option is disabled after you're finished because having telnet enabled is a security risk.
Hi,
Running R7000 with the 1.0.8.34 North American firmware, and facing connectivity issues with the latest OpenVPN for Android release - How to generate the OpenVPN SHA256 certifications?
Regards
You cannot enroll SHA256 Certificates by yourself, you need Netgear to update R7000 Firmware and include this enhancement.
I hope Netgear will consider this in next firmware release.
As suggested in above link, if you want to connect again to OpenVPN on R7000 you need to add:
tls-cipher "DEFAULT:@SECLEVEL=0"
in your OpenVPN for Android profile advanced configuration, but you're exposed to MD5 weakness vulnerability.
Hope Netgear will upgrade firmware asap.
Regards.
Thanks. That did the trick. OpenVPN for Android can connect now. Joining the request to Netgear to release a firmware upgrade, removing the MD5 weakness.
Regards,
