    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:

     

    http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm

     

    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.

It seems to regenerate certs indeed. After confirming there's a progress bar for a few seconds.Updated profile on phone client and it's happy, works and no more warning.

 

<<Attention>> A new OpenVPN configuration package for your router is available that enhances your router's security. You must update the OpenVPN configuration package for your router. Once the OpenVPN configuration package is updated, you must update the OpenVPN configuration package on all your clients; otherwise, your clients won't be able to access your router using the VPN feature.
