OpenVPN 1.1.22 Android
Ever since The Android app of OpenVPN updated to 1.1.22 I can no longer connect to my router. It give OpenVPN server certificate verification failed : mbed TLS: SSL read error : X509 - Certificate verification failed, e.g. CRL, CA or signature check failed
How do I make this work again?
As as update 1.1.24 of OpenVPN Connect has fixed the solution. According to the changelog though, they relaxed the certifaction validation in mbedTLS to allow certificates with broken date format to connect and re-enevabled depricated and INSECURE md5 signature algorithm. SUpport for md5 will be officially dropped on April 31, 2018.
I'm not exactly sure which of the two caused the problem, if it's the later, I hope Netgear updates the OpenVPN server software in the a firmware update before then.

Hi.
I've just updated the openvpn android app to 1.1.22 (build 89) and I'm getting exactly the same problem.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,

Beside use older APK, you can consider try this solution from my post:
Hi thepretender.
Thanks for the help and the link.
I believe when I say that, speaking for Jfossy if I may, we where using the OpenVPN Connect app. Please Jfossy correct me if I'm wrong. At least I was using that app.
Using the instructions on the link you send (with OpenVPN for Android app) I was able to connect to the vpn. Thank you again for the help.
Regards,
Carlos
I get the same error after an update of OpenVPN on Android.
