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.
+1 for this. The main reason I bought an R7000 was becasue I wanted a built-in VPN server feature, but it's been a letdown to find that it's been completely neglected and using outdated security. Was a pain to find a client that would connect, and even that one will be dropping support for MD5 soon, rightfully so.
Netgear, you seem to be pretty reactive to release update for other security issues, please consider that one with the same level of importance.

NG needs to get its s together when cutomers are coming up with a fix. Is the elite tech support incompetent or sitting on their a while we wait and wait for a solution?
